My monitor is shifted to the left

[Riki1998]

I have a pretty good GPU (Asus GTX 580 Matrix Platinum)little old but there is problem i couldn't fix for about 2 years.When the GPU driver is updated to the latest out there and i change my monitor refresh rate to 60hz the screen becomes shifted to the left.But when i install the 270.61 driver all games and other stuff run good but sometimes it goes laggy so i cant play with that driver.I tried with my smaller monitor and with the latest GPU driver and it could run on 60hz.I dont know whats the problem with the bigger monitor pls help!(on the back of the monitor says 50-60 hz)Please help!

Hi,
It might be helpful to know your monitor model.
*Usually when I see SHIFTING, it's due to an incorrect setting such as resolution or refresh.

1) Install monitor drivers for your EXACT MODEL (and Windows version) if you can find them.

2) If it has DVI, VGA or HDMI, use the DVI first but try the others if possible.

3) Try the maximum resolution supported.

4) In NVIDIA Control Panel-> "adjust desktop size and resolution" use:
a) "aspect ratio", and
b) "scale on GPU"
c) confirm proper RESOLUTION
d) confirm REFRESH
*If you change ANY of these four settings, click APPLY.

5) Go to add/remove and uninstall any video drivers, REBOOT and test without adding drivers again.

6) Investigate COMPLETE REMOVAL tools for NVidia (though shouldn't be necessary).

7) Test using another PC.

8) If possible, obtain a LINUX Ubuntu DVD and boot to it (no need to install) and try to run at the maximum resolution your monitor supports. And/or if you have a spare drive, reinstall Windows (don't Activate) to the spare drive but UNPLUG all other HDD/SSD's first (just one hard drive and your DVD drive).

For testing your monitor, you mainly just need to ensure:
a) the main motherboard chipset driver (motherboard site), and
b) Video driver (*But first test with the default Windows drivers).

You may also have some Windows software issues, but let me know how the above goes.

1)The model of the monitor is Quart 23T51 and I think its impossible to find it

2)It has VGA and HDMI tried both of them doesent seem to work.When hooked with VGA the picture was better quality but when hooked HDMI it has bad quality

3)Tried at 1920x1080

4)done that and confirmed also doesent work

5)removed Nvidia drivers could go to 1920x1080 and could change monitor refresh rate

7)tested with my sister PC also shifted to the left when 60 hz but 59 hz is not

8)havent obtained yet

Updated the main motherboard chipset driver and the video driver is 314.22

I think the main problem is on the monitor maybe the monitor should be set to ntsc to go 60hz and pal for 59 but theres no option to do that 🙁

It does sound like your monitor is defective.
(It's possible it's a SETTING somewhere but if none of the following helps it seems unlikely)..

If your monitor is an NTSC design, you may have PAL options but likely at certain settings:
a) 1280x720 @ 50Hz
b) 1920x1080 @ 50Hz

Note that PAL is 50Hz. (59Hz can happen, though I don't know why. My first Dell U2711 did NOT ever have a 59Hz option. The replacement later DID, however the monitor is defective with scaling issues (solved by forcing to scale on the GPU in my case).

Other:
1) If things work fine at 59Hz then attempt to use that instead of 60Hz. (You may be getting 60Hz in reality but your monitor is screwed up and reports it as 59 Hz.)

2) Set Monitor to FACTORY DEFAULTS.

3) Disable NVidia CP "scale on GPU" TO "no scaling" to "display"

4) Then, experiment with your MONITOR SETTINGS such as Aspect Ratio using the Monitor Control Panel instead of the NVidia software control panel.

5) Try an HDMI media device such as a DVD player.

6) any other Physical Monitor and Nvidia Control Panel settings you can think of....
a) Monitor (Fill/Aspect/1:1)
b) resolution
c) Nvidia CP settings.. etc.

Saw this:

(also, 59Hz appear to be "59.94Hz" which may be for the HDMI input. Many monitors's have an HDMI input which is the same format as an HDTV, and NOT the same as DVI.)

*If your HDMI input on the monitor is actually an HDTV style:
a) you should be using HDTV settings in the NVidia Control Panel (such as NTSC_1080@60, rather than 1920x1080).
b) Any media device should work properly with the HDMI input (DVD/BluRay player etc).
