| 1222494 | 2011-08-11 12:03:00 | Hi again, I've just got back from Uni and one thing I have noticed, the same result with the slight 'blurry' text on screen is noticeable on their 22" screens as well. However, on another much smaller LCD 15" size at another training institute, it's clear and crisp. Is it fair to say, that this blurry effect could be the size of the monitor rather than just the video card? If there are people here who have the same size screen monitor as mine or even larger, whether the argument is reasonable to suggest the blurry effect is the result of a large monitor screen? Cheers |

| 1222497 | 2011-08-11 12:35:00 | It's more likely that the screen resolution is not set correctly (to the monitor's "native" resolution (the resolution that matches the pixel matrix of the screen, i.e. 1920x1080 etc)). Slightly blurry text may also be caused by it not being set in "Cleartype" mode. |

| 1222498 | 2011-08-12 07:17:00 | Hi guys, thanks again for your help. I think the blurriness has now reduced a little; unless I am so used to it by now I must be immune to noticing anything significant. However, when I removed that white cable DVI out from back of the monitor and my graphics card, it has made reading the text easy on the eye. I wish I could play with the refresh rate as suggested by some people, unfortunately I cannot, so have to live with the 60hz and default maximum and minimum settings for now until I buy another graphics card. Cheers :) |

| 1222499 | 2011-08-12 07:30:00 | LCDs tend to work best at 60hz anyway. As stated above the resolution is more likely to be the issue. Just FYI, I have no issues with blurry text with either my own 22" monitor (at 1920x1080) nor the University of Auckland's various monitors (usually 1920x1080 as well). :pf1mobmini: |

Cheers :) Are you saying you had dvi and vga plugged in? Unplug VGA and use DVI, its a digital signal and should be sharper. |

| 1222501 | 2011-08-12 23:05:00 | @Alex B, Yes I did. I had both the (vga and dvi) cables running at the back of the monitor and video card at the same time. So I eventually removed the dvi with only the VGA at the back of my monitor now. The quality has improved significantly. I will however try your method too and see how this works for me. Thanks |

| 1222502 | 2011-08-12 23:20:00 | I find DVI or HDMI noticeably better than VGA on large screens. If I remember right DVI and HDMI don't convert the signal to analogue but keep it digital all the way. On smaller screens it's hard to see the difference though. cheers w |

| 1222503 | 2011-08-13 01:36:00 | Blurry LCD is usually caused by the resolution too low (or refresh rate too high) or a crappy VGA cable. DVI is better but VGA can be good too IF the cable is good. Some are rubbish. Some el-cheapo graphics cards are also terrible at high resolutions, on ANY monitor. |
