553869 2007-05-28 06:20:00 Has anyone else got the same monitor? I bought one last Friday for use at work. I set it up this morning & the picture quality seems to be crap. Doesn't seem to matter how I play with the brightness & contrast etc, it's horrible.

I'd like to know if anyone else has had the same, or is mine faulty

553872 2007-05-28 06:43:00 Right click the monitor in device manager and update driver, point it to the cd SolMiester (139)
553873 2007-05-28 06:45:00 The CD only has pdf & Adobe reader install files on it Phil B (648)
553874 2007-05-28 06:47:00 Okay, just looked it up, its wxga lcd which means best res is 1440x900 SolMiester (139)
553875 2007-05-28 06:51:00 Well whatever the videocard is get the Nvidia or ATI drivers.

It doesnt matter if the monitor drivers arent installed, its the videocard drivers that matter.

Yeah, but if wide screen, you do actually need to know what the moniotr is otherwise it defaults to 4:3 or 5:4 ratio resolutions, and doesnt give the WXGA settings

553877 2007-05-28 06:56:00 Did a clean install of windows & fully updated it over the weekend. It's an old mx4600 video card. I'll try a more modern one defore I take it back. I can't see it making much difference myself though Phil B (648)

That may apply to some but these are WS too, and just set at 1440. Theyre fine. No monitor drivers installed.

That may apply if u watch DVD's. Hopefully the program ur using has the option to change it to WS.
