I own a fairly old led/lcd monitor which has a native resolution of 1280x1024 which i find is not sharp enough.

So while running far cry 3 and experimenting with the settings i turned the resolution up to 1366x768 and i could see a difference but im not sure. Does this mean i can use that resolution?

I'm using a Vga to Dvi cord even though my monitor has a DVI slot in the back. Do you guys think i should get a DVI to DVI cable if it can make the image crispier/sharper then ill buy it straight away.

My old CRT 17inch monitor was way sharper than this LCD display. It's actually crap

Thanks for the reply, Do you think that using a dvi to dvi cable will offer a better/crispier image since i can barely make out the enemies in far cry 3 its so blurry
