help with screen resolution please

[deca300]

I can't seem to figure out how to get my screen resoltions crystal clear... I had a 9800GT GPU and everything displayed perfect. I got a new graphic card ati HD 6850 now the words are a little blurry. Like almost nothing, but after say 5minutes of reading on the screen it just gets too bad instant headache... When I compare it to my laptop the quality doesn't even come close? The screen I'm using is a samsung 23inch 2ms not HD. I'm using a VGA cable and a VGA to DVI converter to the card.. Don't know if the converter or cable that cause this? Please any help...

Thanks

Screen, resolution, blurry

Do you have Windows 7? If yes, in the Display option under Control Panel, you'll see 'Adjust ClearType Text' on the left. Go through that wizard and see if it solves your problem.

Make sure you installed the driver, you can get the latest driver from here:

Also remove your Nvidia driver. Your native resolution will be 1920x1080. You must change your cable to the DVI cable which your monitor should of come with for sharper and clearer text and images.

Ditch the VGA cable and get a DVI cable.

BTW all PC screens are already HD.

Remove all old Nvidia drivers, install the latest ATI drivers. then set windows to the highest resolution that looks right on your screen.

Ditch the VGA cable and get a DVI cable.

Seems the screen only has a VGA input.

My guess is that the monitor isn't running at native resolution.

A 23inch Samsung?

About R100+ cheaper than those with DVI.

Press the button that adjusts/synchronizes the screen to the VGA signal. If it remains blurry, then it is probably just that cleartype setting.

Using a DVI to VGA converter will remove the digital video signal from the DVI port and thus only use the analog signal, which requires the screen to adjust itself to that resolution and frequency. With the DVI/HDMI/DISPLAY PORT cables you will never have any sync issues like with VGA.

Try turning off vga scaling. (I think that's what its called. lol) I had a blurry screen with my lcd tv & ATI HD 6950 when I used HDMI till I did this

My logic is that if he has to use a DVI to VGA adapter then it must be.

I've just never seen or heard of a above 21.5 inch monitor that doesn't have DVI before, that's why I was astounded.

What resolution are you running at? And what is the monitor's native (maximum) resolution? Does the image fill the whole screen or is it just a little box in the middle? If so it could be a scaling setting that needs to be adjusted, the ATI cards have that sometimes.

Looks like the OP did a hit & run. If he can't be bothered to reply I don't see any reason to post.

Hate it when that happens, very rude
