   blurry monitor
  I just hooked up me monitor for the first time, a whopping expensive LG F900P and it''s BLURRY. A mere 5 minutes behind it hurts my fragile eyes and even when I look away, everything seems blurry.Is there any way I can decrease this blurriness. I''ve alrteady degaussed, toyed with pinussion/trapezoid/etc values and whatnot, but noyhing seems to help.   "Finishing in second place, simply means you are the first loser." - PouyaCat
  Anything there labeled ''Moire''? ;  Yep. It''s already at 0/0 (vert/hor) and only gets worse as I change it. When looking closely at text, it''s as if every character has a dim shadow to its right - this won''t change as I change any of the values. Changing moire only causes a motion blur kind of effect to be applied to the image...Purity is also already at 0, which seems to be the best value.   "Finishing in second place, simply means you are the first loser." - PouyaCat;  My expensive monitor once gave everything "shadows", I thought it was broken, but it turned out I had to use a better monitor cable!  I had accidently used a cable from my old monitor from a 386. ;  Make sure you have the right drivers installed. I had to same problem with a new LCD, then installed a new driver for the monitor and it got better.Sometimes when you get a good magnet too near a monitor it gets blurry for awhile, but it usually fixes itself. (do not try at work/school!!)...err.. you did   read the user''s manual, right??  Yes... VB6 is here to steal your minds. Very slowly. ;  When I got a new system a while ago, it was blurry. The reason it appeared blurry was that some gray colors turned red, or gave redish "shadows". Just by lowering the red intensity a few steps, the whole display became much sharper. Try playing some with the color settings and see what happens. That, or throw it on the head of the one who sold it to you; either way might work. ;  Try playing with Horizontal Focus? ;  I think this is the most helpful thread in the Lounge over a period of at least 2 years. Unfortunately:1) the cable is brand new, but I'll be sure to try out an alternative one2) I am not a n00b so, yes, I have the correct drivers installed3) unfortunately tampering with color intensities/temperature didn't yield much4) I haven't tried throwing it on people's heads yet, but that sounds fun5) It doesn't have a horizontal focus functionI maxed out Convergence and that seemed to help a little. I THINK the picture is more focused in the middle.Another funny thing is the fact that the OSD is crystal sharp. The same goes for the boot-up time command line scroller, if one may call it so.BTW, I'm running a Win 2k with GF2 latest drivers installed on this computer. edit: nope, I was lying. It's blurry during bootup as well..."Finishing in second place, simply means you are the first loser." - PouyaCat   [edited by - crispy on February 3, 2004 9:51:47 AM];  Have you tried another monitor with the same computer? Or, tried the monitor on another computer?If you had two images like this (lines 1 pixels wide; 1 pixel inbetween):-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Would they both be blurry to the same extent, or would one be more blurry than the other? If the latter (especially if the vertical is more blurry) it would indicate a problem with the card/connector/cable. If the former, it rather is something fishy with the monitor itself. ;  you should kick it, hard. that fixes many hardware problems that are otherwise impossible to repair.
