Blurry Screen

Apr 8th, 2008
Alright I got a new computer with an 8800 geforce graphics card and I have a dual monitor setup. One is digital and the other is an old crt (I have the adaptor so I can plug it into my graphics card).
Problem: The crt has a nice crisp image and it looks fine but the good 20' (digital) monitor is blurry. It isn't like extremely blurry, but there is a noticible difference. The monitor worked with my old computer and I'm pretty sure it worked with this one for a while. Also I can't put my crt monitor in the place I have my digital monitor plugged into and i cant put my digital monitor into the input where the crt monitor is. The computer is alread at the suggested resolution (1440x900). any ideas?
Then another little side issue is when I move my windows of anything, instead of showing that the window is moving, it keeps the window in place and just shows a gray outline of the moving window. My other computer didn't do that and I'd like to know if there is anything i can do or download to get it back to regular.
Thanks to anyone who helps =]
also when i play games the screen isnt blurry. it is a nice crisp image.

How blurry are you talking?

CRT displays still have better resolution than the usual LCD units.

its not thatt blurry. its like you'd probably only notice it if you had the other monitor to compare it to or if you knew to look for it. But it is like decently blurry and there must be some way to sharpen it up.

I haven't spent a lot of time in front of a LCD, but i think what you see is normal and nothing gona fix it for you .you might check the system properties ,right click on mycomputer/properties /advanced /performance settings and make sure that smooth edges of screen fonts is check off

The grey outline when dragging a window - this option you have selected is less meory intensive than dragging the windows contents. The checkbox is here: go Start, run, paste in...
control sysdm.cpl,,3 -and choose Performance Settings.

try the lcd display menu. try different settings and you might want to check out the size of the font that is being used. as stated earlier the crt will show certain fonts better that the lcd you just have to find the right setting
