Error - View Single Post - Blurry Text on New LCD Monitor

**Iphone** · 11-Apr-2007, 02:38 AM

I've got a Dell Dimension 4600 running XP Pro. A few weeks ago, we decided to upgrade from our very old CRT monitor to a nice, new 19" LCD monitor. We've tried two Samsung LCDs, the last one being a 930B, and now have an LG L1920P installed.

On all three LCDs. the text is blurry. Not horrible, but not crisp either.

I've got a gold-plated digital cable connecting the monitor to the PC (DYNEX DVI Cable - purchased at Best Buy). The video card is new and is a GeForce 6200, though I don't think its making a noticable improvement over the older card, which I think was a GeForce 5200. Both use nVidia chipsets.

Resolution is set correctly. I turned off the virus scan when installing and unistalling the drivers. All drivers are up to date.

Am I simply having bad luck with monitors or is there a solution I should try?
