Situation: Purchased Monitor yesterday and replaced 17.5" MAG LCD monitor which displayed normal ar resolution od 1280 x 1024. New monitor is set to it's native resolution of 1400 x 1040. Display is grainy and pixelated as if contrast is high and sharpness is too sharp. I have played with all settings on the monitor to no avail. I have tried windows display settings as well as NVIDIA control panel - still no fix. Lower resolutions display as horribly blurry. I have installed and uninstalled drivers after each attempt to resolve, such as changing my BIOS and installing drivers. Please see screenshots at: http://www.neobrat.com/a1.jpg http://www.neobrat.com/a2.jpg http://www.neobrat.com/a3.jpg Take particular note of how radio button appears in a3.jpg I do have cleartype enable as well as Vista Aero. Please suggest a fix to this problem.. the current display is extremely harsh. Thank you so much in advance. Running DirectX 10 |
