Screen Resolution |
|
|
I just installed a video driver for my NVIDIA graphics card. The resolutions
I prefer that are available are 1280 x 960 or 1280x 1024. But, when I use
the
1280 x1024 I have problems that causes the system to crash on occasions.
Through experimentation I found the system seems more stable at
the 1280 x 960 res. The problem with that is the fonts on the desktop
aren't crisp. (It's hard to explain.) The upper edge of some text appears to
"blur" while some the bottom edge of the text appears to "blur", the rest of
the font seems ok. I corrected this while playing around with the software
that came with the driver but I don't remember what I did to fix it. After
fixing
it there was a noticeable difference. I was hoping someone can tell me what
aspect of the settings I should work with in order to fix this problem.
Thanks,
James |

Re: Screen Resolution |

are you using a CRT or LCD display? Also are you connected by VGA or DVI
cable to that display? With LCD you can adjust the phase and pitch from the
monitors built-in display controls, but only if your using a VGA cable
instead of the DVI.

It's LCD. So, I might adjust the phase and pitch?
