Aliasing/jag in 1440p 34inch monitor?

[hunkeelin]

Hi all I recently bought a Samsung WQHD 32-Inch LED Monitor S32D850T. It's a 1440p monitor. However, I'm experiencing aliasing in nearly everything. Like chrome, all the text, all the games even crysis when i'm in 1440p. I am not referring about small text, for small text i can simply turn up the font size or simply sit closer. I am referring to the text being aliased making it unreadable, part of the letter are missing making an "a" looks like an "o" or sometimes half of the letter is missing. I don't know how to describe it probably. When I print screen, go back to 1080p look at the image. Everything is smooth no aliasing. I am very perplex on what's going on.
Something doesn't seem right. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

I dont' get any of the jags when I go back to 1080p. As the matter of fact. I cannot tell the difference in graphics between 1080p and 1440p other than 1440p gives me jag, lower fps, and unreadable text. This is strange. Is there a specific driver for me to install?

Btw all the games I play is on max settings.

Thanks

Are you using Windows Cleartype?

Also, what cable/connection are you using? Dual-link DVI will probably give the best result.

I know this is an old thread but I just got the same monitor and I feel like all text is aliased. Windows Cleartext is enabled. Something is just "off" in the text. Pixel density is not so bad that text should look this bad. This is in windows 10, Linux VMs, and also EVE online. Other games menu text look fine. I am thinking of just returning the monitor.

Maybe ponying up the extra 400 for the 32 curved 21:9. I want to like this 32 though for the vertical height of it. If I could just fix my text.

Already try suggestions in this windows support post ? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2900023 ("Some desktop applications may appear blurred on high-DPI displays")

Many monitors these days have multiple modes. "Gaming", "Standard", "Movie", etc. If I were you I'd try all of those modes, and see if they make a difference.

Edit: So, apparently, having my contrast at 100 was a bad idea...derp (I am new to display setting...my last monitor was a 27 apple display, and I just used out of the box settings...I am purely a gamer on these home PCs anyway). Anyway, while not as sharp as my 27 1440p (for obvious reasons), it is good enough for me not to drop 1300 on the new Acer gsync monitor later this year. I also changed the gamma mode which made a big difference.

So, twiddling with all the settings, the one thing that has made my text PASSABLE is dynamic contrast. I notice when I switch to it, some of the aliasing goes away...but it disables all other image settings for some reason!

It is too dang bright with this enabled and it wont let me change the brightness. I am not sure why dynamic contrast seems to affect the sharpness of my image.

Sharpness itself only goes from blurry to aliased. I dont know. Sigh.

Aliasing is not something a monitor has an affect on, it just sounds like the sharpness or contrast is making it more visible to you.

You should be able to adjust the settings without dynamic contrast. You should be able to manually adjust the contrast to work for you. Once you do that, you need to go back and re-calibrate ClearType. All those settings have an affect on ClearType.
