Not happy with this screen

[SYNERGY]

I think it's the motion blur that's giving him headaches...

Ummm, really?

HDMI on Geforce cards since Fermi has done some really weird things in the past, most notably not enabling the 0-255 colour space on quite a few monitors which the drivers will see as TVs. Some monitors need custom resolutions to be created to get around scaler issues over HDMI as well. DVI is usually more reliable than HDMI, even though the signaling standards and clock generators are sometimes shared. I do think that both are antiquated compared to Displayport, though.

Its ever so slight, I find in game its not as bad but when im browsing the net where there is alot of white then it gets intense. In bf4 I find dark is really dark sometimes also to add when playing and I die, the kill cam when looked at closely you can see the blocks perhaps pixels on the screen Its weird. Im busy doing a clean install of the latest drivers and Im going to set my monitor according to Woots recommendations.

Coming back to the youtube 720p and 1080p not even looking clear, is this normal?

How can I take good hi res screen shots?

Thanks for the help so far though guys.

The first image shows how the lines arent that smooth.

Second one shows the blocks in bf4

Ah sigh I see how tiny the images are now

Agreed there can be driver issues.. but to blanket say that DVI is better than HDMI is just plain wrong....

Okei well based on my own experience with HDMI and monitors along the an amd gpu. If you using hdmi, switch gpu scaling to 0 through the driver. Then go onto your monitor setting that's built into the monitor and you going to want to look for AV mode. Turn that off and you're good to go. That's what I had to do on my Samsung monitor to get hdmi to use the full screen and not be blurry

Did you just do a screengrab? Cause that's some serious scaling problems there.

I did a printscreen and then pasted it into paint for the first image then i did a screen grab with fraps for the bf4 one

MyBB auto-resizes attachments, that's why they're small.

The images themselves look okay to me, though they're not full res.

That's the thing. If it was displaying at the correct resolution, your screen grabs will be 1920x1080. Anything less means your Gpu is not running at the right res. What does windows day your desktop resolution is?

Here's a test with a screenshot I just took.

1920 x 1080. I don't think the screenshot is the wrong size, its just scaled down a lot by the forum.

1366 x 768. I don't think the screenshot is the wrong size, its just scaled down a lot by the forum.

Untick the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" option for a non scaled down version.

Its an attachment, not a link from another image host. If you had looked at the URL for the images you would have known that.

If your monitor requires duel link DVI and your graphics card does not support HDMI 1.3, then DVI is the preferred option.

HDMI 1.2 and older does not provide enough bandwidth for higher resolutions or higher refresh rates (e.g. 1920x1080 @ 120Hz requires duel link DVI...or HDMI 1.3).

So yes, although DVI and HDMI is pretty much identical (HDMI is basically DVI+AUDIO), DVI is sometimes highly recommended.

am i the only one trying to figure out why a screen grab will show us what he is seeing on his LG monitor? :/

We are trying to find out what his desktop resolution is. The requests for what windows says (right-click anywhere on the ddesktop - screen resolution btw) hasn't given a result yet.

Pretty sure the GPU is either not scaling properly or windows is not seeing the monitor and it is not running at the full 1080 resolution.

You could be right.

DVI and HDMI are electrically compatible. DVI does allow for sound data. HDMI does not carry analog signals like DVD-I does.

Could It be due to the fact that the drivers wouldnt install for the screen? I installed the new AMD graphics drivers but havent experienced much change
