Maybe you can try adjusting cleartype font calibration in control panel. Try getting the driver from the manufacturer. Go to Nvidia GPU Control center/panel to untick EDID info under display properties and set the refresh rate to 60Hz.

Is It connected via VGA or DVI ?

I'd jump to the next message #6 and clean install your video card drivers as explained in the next message and then check the cabling as mentioned in links in message #7 If all fails come back here and try to find drivers specific to your monitor, but I really don't think that is the issue.

Hmm it appears that Zenith (if it's the american company that used to makes TVs as well) has been wholly owned by LG Electronics since 1999. Home - Zenith Electronics

Your best bet might be the LG Software, Firmware and Drivers section: LG Software & Firmware | LG U.S.A

I searched for the model number z1nw and got no matches. You can also search by your serial number which might give better results.

Do you want to share the serial number? Usually they are generic codes followed by the last few digits specifying the exact unit, even the first digits of the serial number might help. It would also help to know what country you purchased it in, I checked your account and it's not there or I missed it. That and what size monitor it is and approx how old it is.

If we knew the country the monitor came from, and which Zenith (I see in india there is a pc builder called Zenith) Zenith- Always on

Another possibility is that it's your video card driver's fault. Have you tried installing the newest driver for your specific video card from the manufacturer? That seemed to solve a similar case here: Solved Monitor Resolution Issue - Windows 10 Forums

If you do not know which video card you have, you can use a free tool called Speccy from the makers of Ccleaner (Piriform): direct link to the standard free version: Speccy - Standard

If you run it you'll see your monitor (probably wrongly identified as a generic non-pnp monitor with the graphic card details under it:



In my case it's clearly an Nvidia GTX 660 and I'd go find drivers for that, install them and see if it solved my monitor issue. It's worth a try!

EDIT: I see you already tried installing the video card driver. I would then recommend doing a squeaky clean fresh install of your newest video card driver using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller). You launch DDU, it reboots you to safe mode, you pick an option, recommended being remove and restart, it cleans off the old video drivers and restarts you to normal windows. Then proceed to install your fresh new driver theoretically free from any old bits of driver or registry entries getting in the way.

DDU download: official download link is in this forum post: Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) V15.7.2.0 Released. - Wagnardmobile Forum

Info on the product: What is DDU? - Wagnardmobile Forum

Worst case scenario is you spend 10 minutes or less doing this for free and even if it doesn't fix that problem, you can pretty much rule out any issues with the video card driver once and for all.

And it could also be cable issues: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2265838/screen-resolution-issue-generic-pnp-monitor.html

Maybe your cable has an extension on it or just plain isn't connected tightly? I know, grasping at straws now but to sum, it could be your video card driver, it could be the cable connecting your monitor keeping your video card drivers from recognizing and properly setting the resolution for the monitor, and it *could* be lack of a driver for that specific monitor, but I do not think so.

It's that 'non-pnp monitor' windows is seeing that worries me. Unless you're using an ancient CRT I thought they were all plug and play. That's why I figure it's more likely video driver or cabling issues. You specify that it is an LCD.

There's good tips in the thread linked how on setting custom resolutions with your video card driver configuration tool, but it looks like you tried that too. They specifically talk about nvidia but I would assume radeon has much the same capability.

If none of this helps I'd try googling "windows non-pnp monitor" and you'll see lots of people with similar problems and solutions.

Sorry if you're still broken after a DDU clean install of video drivers and checking all the cabling and connections.

Any luck? If it's still not working I'd do the following troubleshooting steps in order:

1) turn off your computer
2) unplug the monitor from your video card
3) open your case, remove and then reinstall your video card carefully but firmly - funny things can happen if it's not properly seated
4) carefully plug your monitor into the video card - if the video card has 2 outputs, use the one you don't usually use to see if your normal output is touchy
5) power up your machine and let windows boot up fully, it might just auto-update your card/monitor drivers if it's plugged in and detected properly due to res-seating the video card/checking your monitor plug connections to the card
6) if still no luck, manually check for windows updates
7) if still no luck, run DDU to reboot in safe mode, remove all video drivers for your card and then restart your machine
8) install the newest video card driver direct from nvidia/geforce or wherever the drivers for your card come from
9) if still not working, turn your machine off and find another computer or (another video card to put in your machine) to test the monitor on
10) if the monitor is detected and functions properly, you can think about blaming your video card, but hopefully it's still just a driver issue
11) if the monitor is not detected and still functions incorrectly, it might be a bad cable or the monitor might be going =(
12) if you think the monitor may be at fault, borrow a friend's *working* monitor and try plugging it into your video card and see if it is detected and functions properly on its own (don't install any monitor drivers, it should happen by itself with windows)
13) if borrowed monitor is detected/works normally, blame your monitor or cable again, not your video card driver
14) if borrowed monitor is also not detected and functions oddly, it might be the video card and/or the driver

Hopefully you have access to a normally working machine and monitor so you can test your own monitor on the working system, and test the working monitor on your system. This will really help in isolating the problem.
