Hey all, just got my new computer up and running, and I hit a snag with the graphics. All the text at native resolution (1920*1080) is blurry, rather than crisp. I ran into a similar problem once, and it had to do with out of date display drivers, but I got Catalyst 10.2 so I don't think that's the issue this time. What do you all think?

To me it is more your color scheme than anything, that dark blue is almost impossible to read against that charcoal background.

Running @ wrong hertz for LCD?
Have you added the correct Driver from LCD Manu website.
My Samsung LCD 26" comes with a "DIGITAL" (HDMI/DTI) driver and an "Analogue" driver (vga?) connections.

I would have to agree with this one since the Intel icon is so bright and clear. Oh and thanks for updating your specs. Fabe

I spent some time calibrating my monitor to the best of my abilities. This website was very helpful

As far as the text goes, it's a bit better now. I think it may just be an artifact of the HD resolution I'm running.

I had the exact same problem with my acer 1916w and all I had to do to fix it was replace the VGA cable, the one that came with it was really shoddy and was causing all of the blurring.
