David Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hey, we just got a new 19" widescreen TFT monitor and the fonts all look a bit weird and fuzzy instead of sharp and clear...Ive had a play with the resolutions and cant seem to get much difference.. The tesxt looks a bit smudged around the edges. Is there a setting or something I could play with?Thanks,dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Ive got it in 1280x1024 at the moment...also its hurting my eyes a bit, I think that could be because im not used to the size but it seems a little bright (obviously I can adjust the brightness) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Some guy at work had this problem, it looks shadowed? Ill try find out what it was. I think maybe he had his res set at a funny size, try fiddling with that. I swear theres something else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Am I right in saying the Native resolution for a 19" widscreen lcd is 1280x1024? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 My sisters (now mine) TFT screen used to be like this, normally i just press 'A' or auto adjust and it sorts it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 100% not. Mines a normal 17" and its that.When you change the size in desktop properties it shows you a blue box of the size change, and if it looks widescreen, try it.

Your running a normal 4:3 resolution on a widescreen tft.Turn it upto the max your display allows e.g. 1280x800, 1440x900, 1680x1050, 1920x1200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
