    NEC CRT Monitors

    Wow. After all this headache with the blurriness, all I had to do was tweak the screws on the side of the monitor for a much better (although not perfect) picture. Two questions: 1. Why in the hell doesn't NEC support tell people about this? 2. Why do they make these srews so friggin...

    Is there a difference between a DVI-A to VGA adapter and a DVI to VGA adapter?

    alexandernevsky: Still tweaking it, getting a little better but still no comparison to my LCD. BenSkywalker mentioned that it may be an issue with my VGA to DVI adapter. I hope this is not the case since my 6800 GT card only has DVI inputs.

    NEC is definitely ending CRT production. I heard from the NEC tech support guy.

    Wolfman: I'll modify my settings to replicate yours just for giggles...let's see what happens. How crisp and bright is your text compared to an LCD? By the way, I just purchased the Klipsch speakers you have and they rock! Rhino: Any progress?

    RhinO: I may be having the same issues as you. I am super sensitive to changes in my display. And I am also conditioned to looking at text on an LCD which is super bright and super crisp. The text on my CRT isn't horrible, it just isn't great. However, the text on my CRT at work looks...

    Display Blurry on 6800GT (**Problem Fixed**)

    I actually have a similar problem with my system. I have twin 6800 GT's in SLI mode. Games look great but text in Windows apps looks blurry and not sharp. I have a new NEC FP2141SB 22" monitor. At first I thought that the blurriness was due to the fact that aperture grills ar just not as...

    alexandernevsky: Good point on the RGB. I'll try adjusting the knobs on the left side. Thanks.

    One other thing. The monitor comes with an analog VGA cord. Yet the eVGA 6800 GT only has DVI connectors. Therefore, I am using an analog to DVI adapter. Could this be the culprit?

    I don't think the issue is SLI. I have set my rig with and without SLI enabled and it makes no difference. The EMI theory is interesting but I don't think this is it either as my gaming apps look OUTSTANDING. The blurry text issue is with word processing and internet browsers. The desktop...

    I tried that. It really doesn't look any different. I think it is a function of having an aperture grill crt. Text just doesn't look as crisp compared to an LCD.
