Utilize ALL of Your Screen Real Estate

DISCLOSURE: If you don't feel comfortable making adjustments to your system, please don't proceed with this tip.

Take a look at your monitor right now... Do you see a black border surrounding the screen? If so, you can quickly and permanently regain that extra viewing area by following this week's tip.

Because there are many different types of monitors and manufacturers, I can't be specific to your machine, but follow the guidelines laid out here to make your adjustments.

At the bottom of your monitor, you will notice either a series of buttons or maybe a dial.

If you can find your monitor manual, then it will explain what the buttons mean and how to use them to make adjustments. If not, look for the following visual hints on the buttons or possibly on the screen itself after you press the buttons:

	Horizontal Size. Increases or decreases the width of the display image.
	Horizontal Position. Moves the display image to the left or right side of the screen.
	Vertical Size Increases or decreases the height of the display image.
	Vertical Position. Moves the display image to the top or bottom of the screen.

Once you find these buttons then push them to make the change on the monitor. A little practice with these buttons and you will soon gain some valuable screen real estate.
