Hi All,
Looking to the community to help me with this one.
Over the last month or so I've had intermittently poor video quality with my 3-monitor setup. I have 3 x Dell 2407WFP monitors running at 1920 x 1200 off of a singleSapphire 100315L Radeon HD 6850, 1GB. 2 monitors running via DVI, 1 via "display port."
I'm usually doing office tasks, using one monitor for a TV/streaming video, etc. It has worked our great for me.
Recently been having 1 specific monitor show poor quality (see pictures below.). Image is visible, just poor quality. Tried easy stuff - swapped cables around, etc. Seemed to be one specific monitor, so I purchased a new (used) same model. Interestingly, the problem went away before the replacement monitor arrived. The issue returned last night. So today I installed the new monitor -- plugged in, works fine ... except now the poor image quality moved to another monitor.
I'm left with the thought that the only way for this to happen is if the graphics card is bad.
So I guess I have a 2 part question:
1- Any suggestions or anything I can do to resolve this? Is this a known issue with this model or driver version (running latest non-beta). I googled a bit but found nothing.
2- If you agree it's a card issue, can you recommend a good card for replacement? Again I don't really do any gaming - just use it for web surfing, personal finance, streaming video, etc. I don't think I need a top of the line card, but something that can run 3 monitors is big for me.
PIctures:
Thanks!
