Resolution - Very confused
I have just purchased a new 24" Asus VH242H monitor.
My graphics card is a Radeon HD4670 Sapphire 1gb DDR3
Fisrt of all I better explain that I find all the terminology relating to resolutions and desktop properties very confusing and I would appreciate some help.
I have gathered that the native resolution of this monitor is 1920x1080. Using the change screen resolution within control panel this shows as the recommended resolution.
The problem is that this results in the text associated with all office programs and websites appearing blured.
Looking at the Win 7 Help and Support screens it suggests that a resolution of 1920x1200 would produce the best quality but I am unable to set this within control panel.
I have gone into the ATI Catalyst Control Centre and using the basic settings wizzard again I cannot set 1920x1200.
I have however been able to set 1920x1052 which gives a crystal clear picture of all text but there is a thin black bar across the top of the display which is not being used. This is not a problem to me.
Could someone please explain why 1920x1080 gives blured text when this is the native resolution of the screen?
Why can I not set the suggested resolution of 1920x1200?
Why does setting 1920x1052 work despite not being recommended or selectable in Win7 Control Panel.
Sorry for such a complex set of questions.
