i've gotten very fuzzy text on my desktop in the last 4-5 months....i've tried different driver versions and i'm running the newest omegas right now....the text is readable but it fuzzy compared to other computers around here....i've adjusted all the monitor settings as well to no avail.....anyone have any ideas ????

if you are on an LCD monitor, make sure cleartype is on.

If not...try degaussing the monitor and adjusting the moire...it really doesn't sound liek a card issue so much as a monitor issue though.

PS - welcoem to DH amigo

if you on a regular monitor make sure clear type is off or the text will be fuzzy

yeah clear type is definetely off....maybe i'll try to get a friends vid card to test my monitor....it is a 2 year old CRT.....need to upgrade to a better crt like viewsonic p95 or an lcd like samsung 710.....

set the refresh rate down to round 60, it'll be bad 4 ur eyes but it might fix the prob...

i've tried setting the refresh rate at all possible values my monitor can handle, and none of them do anything.....i might just have to break down and buy a samsung 710t lcd....i heard they're decent for gaming, so i might just do that
