Have a Aptiva 2170 21u and want to use the Ambra 5500 BMS monitor from my old system. Monitor works but I can't increase the registration of the screen.

Assuming that you are using Windows,
Go to display properties,
Click on the settings tab,
Click on advanced,
Click on the monitor tab.

Is the listed monitor the Ambra 5500?
If not, select change, and see if your Windows version lists the Ambra monitor.
If so, changing to the Ambra should fix the problem.
If Ambra is not listed, select the closest VGA or SVGA "standard" monitor, and try it.

You may need to get a monitor driver specifically for the Ambra monitor.
Check out www.driverguide.com for links and posted driver files.

Hi if the Ambra monitor has an FCC Id number then you can get the manufacturers name fron this and they may have a model number similar to part of the FCC Id.

To find manufacturer from FCC Id go to the following link.

Best of luck
