Hi guys,

I'm working on a new build and the display is blurry. Any suggestions on how to fix?

I've already...

-Installed/Reinstalled/Updated drivers (From AMD)
-Reinstalled operating system with every windows update and all other drivers
-Made sure morphological filtering is turned off
-Tested a second monitor
-Tested a second HDMI cord
-Adjusted Resolution to suggested resolution for my monitor, although a different resolution works better, but not great.

GPU: MSI Radeon 7850 - Twin Frozr
Mobo: ASROCK z87 extreme 4
PSU: 500Watts Corsair, which is sufficient
CPU: i7 4770k
RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistics
Display: Samsung S23C350H - LED

Everything looks bad in windows, worse in my internet browser, and even worse when watching movies - I have yet to install a game or 3d modeling/rendering software.

Thanks.

Second monitor worked fine I suppose? If so, do you have a laptop or other device to test your problematic monitor on? If there is an issue outside of your new build regarding that monitor, consider a return.

Thanks, and yeah it's still blurry on the second monitor, even tried a tv and same thing.
Every thread I've read offers no solution. Seems like it might be a hardware problem... Would you expect GPU or motherboard?

I'm actually on my second motherboard already, the first one wouldn't recognize memory in the A slots... I never got a chance to test the GPU with the drivers on the first one, but I feel confident in this motherboard.. I've had 0 issues it except this.

OR am I jumping the gun here?

Seems to me that all signs point to the GPU as the culprit. Try reseating it in the PCIe slot and double check the power cables running too it. It may also be worth trying the GPU in another PCIe slot. Also, what kind of power supply are you running in this build?
