Moniter display isn't "crisp"

[AbsoluteParadigm]

The text on the moniter isn't "crisp and clean" if you know what I mean. The text is blurry and it's straining my eyes. I'm sure it's a common problem with moniters, so anyone out there have any advice as to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Get a monitor with a lower dot pitch.

Did you fiddle with brightness and contrast yet, to see if that might help?

please move to hardware forum

do you have lastest display drivers?

I did but that did nothing for the fuzziness of text.

Contrast all the way up and turn down the brightness.

That or tweak the pentiometres inside but I recommend against doing that as it's quite dangerous.

I just tried that, didn't work.

turn off cleartype

There's also the convergence which aligns the Red Blue and Green guns. Go to MonitorsDirect's Monitor Toolkit and use the convergence tool.

This is a linux machine. I don't think Linux has cleartype.

all moniotors go bad after years of abuse. maybe its time to put it to sleep and move onto a new monitor?

As much as I would like to, no can do. This isn't my computer, it's the lab's. I'm just using it and the blurry text was bothering me. Thanks for the advice though.

I like the General Hardware section, it's super cool and noobriffic! The only thing you'll get in here is smart ass replies... like this one!
