Can't find monitor drivers!

Ok, the monitor says Samsung LS27C230 on it but Samsung claims it doesn't exist when I try to find the drivers. I'm looking for them because the display is absolutely HUGE and unworkable right now. W7 can't detect it to try and pull drivers that way either.

What should I do to fix this??

Sounds more like video driver not a display driver. The display driver generally just reports the resolution and refresh rate it supports.

Have you gone into the display driver to set the resolution you want?

As the earlier posters mentioned it sounds like it's a video driver issue and not the display itself. What type of video card does the computer you are using have?

Many/most monitors don't have "drivers". And those that do, often serve no purpose other than to identify the monitor by name in the Device properties.

As noted, you should be able to adjust the display properties to control the resolution (display size). If not, try updating the video drivers.

As to the modem information, it does appear to be inaccurate. I can find no reference to that model.

I'm not sure what I did but I fixed it I went into the video card properties, tried to update the driver (2009 is the newest) then clicked on the Details tab and poof! it was fixed!

The best part was that this was at work and the IT person couldn't fix it but I did

From the listing on Samsung's site - I would bet the model for the drivers is the S27C230BS/ZA
