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 I ran into a similar problem once, and it had to do with out of date display drivers, but I got Catalyst 10.2 so I don't think that's the issue this time.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?

Zen00 would you change your system specs for us? Would probably help I think. Thanks. Fabe

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

LCD monitor test images

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.
