ithildin: (Iron Man - Burn Out)
So the monitor my brother got for came in and I swear, there are so many options that I can't figure out what the heck I'm doing. I think I finally have the colour/brightness the way I want it, but text looks crappy. Though I noticed the same thing on the flat panel I got at work a few months back. I guess I'll get used to it.

What is the refresh rate on the screen.

My left display (analog) is 1280x1024 at 60Hz while my right display (digital) is 1280x1024 75Hz (here the display says that 60Hz is optimal).

Sometime the higher refresh rates makes the display appear to act up under fluorescent lights. Since you are at home I would not expect that to be a problem.

What is your current screen settings? I would assume that you have the color depth set to 32-bit, but check under the Display Properties, Settings tab, Advanced button and see if your display screen resolution is set too high/low. That is one area under Windows where you can adjust how text appears. Please check it out.

My brother is taking care of it all for me, so I'm sure it will all be cool soonish :)

I'm sure it will be.

The Display Properties/Settings tab/Advanced button/General tab is one of those hidden adjustment things MS has for displays. It even gives you visual feedback on your changes.

By the way, a lot of people at work were quite surprised by my loss of facial hair.
