Same with the Toshiba 110ct/cs but the stretch is only a little
better than the nostretch.

Neither work for me.
The VESA  on the 110ct is only 1.2 but youve given me an idea.
Theres a DOS program called Scitech display doctor, which can
boost the VESA up to 3. Might be able to stretch the Tosh screen
under DOS, which would be useful to me. I still use DOS a lot.

Bit odd it doesnt work with that and does with all the rest.
Surely you dont have the facility to test it with all those
modules? Theres a lot of them.
