New Viewsonic monitor, and appearance is just a bit off
I just replaced a 1280x1024 Viewsonic monitor, that had gone bad, with another one (Viewsonic VA708).
Though I've never really been one to pay "hard hard" attention to how things look on a monitor - never felt a problem with anything - something just looks/feels "off" with this one.
This is most noticeable to me on the titles appearing on the browser tabs in Firefox. They just look "wrong" - watery maybe to my eye.
BUT... I have attached a screenshot comparing a blowup of a browser tab from my work computer Dell 1280x1024 monitor (top) and my new Viewsonic monitor (bottom), blown up to 1000 px wide (I cropped), and in the blowup, I can't tell the difference.
So why might I be perceiving things differently with this new monitor?
FWIW, I did update the driver from the Viewsonic site, and I also played with both the monitor's and the control panel's display adjustments.
