I have a problem with my text coming up funky.... some of the letters
are blurred slightly and it makes it very difficult if not painful to
read! I have played with the clear type settings but to no avail. My
monitor seems to be working properly. Any ideas on how to solve this
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Charles

Are you using your monitor's NATIVE screen resolution?

Thanks for the reply Andy,

Yes I am using the native resolution. The power went out yesterday no
lightning strike or anything. After that I booted up and the text was
like that. Is it possible that the power outage damaged the computer or
monitor?? Everything seems to be working fine except the blurred text.
This occured before but went away. The LCD tv is only a year old. Any
ideas would be appreciated, thanks, Charles.

Another trick is to let your PC boot into windows and then unplug the
monitor cable from the back of your PC (graphics card), then plug it back in
again. This forces the Windows "Plug&Play" code to re-detect your monitor.

Hope this helps


Andy
