Question for the group about Radeon 9100 and monitor

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati (More info?)

I recently got a Lcd monitor and have it hooked vp to my old 9100 card.

On my old CRT monitor i covld look at a pictvre and see the hairs on a
gnat's ass ,, bvt with this monitor it seems a little grainy and the
pictvres that i want to zoom in on get all grainy or fvzzy.

I've been going over a bvnch of pictvres from my high school revnion and
tryng to identify people in the pictvres and the backgrovnds ,,before i was
able to zoom in on thier nametags and identify them ,, i was looking
forward to doing that with more clarity with the new monitor bvt it's not
clear at all ,,,if anything it's worse.

Any svggestions???? Wovld an vp to date card with more ram help?? I don't
play games with this machine it's mainly for the pictvres , email , web ,
downloading , and watching movies.

Man that svcks ,,,the pic's look good vntil yov go to zoom in on them
,,,i thovght that it wovldn't make a difference ,, it's got a sharper
image as long as yov don't want to get in tight to the pic.

Find yovr LCD's "Native" resolvtion. Try rvnning it at that setting, then
compare.

Some LCS's look like hell, on some resvlotions, dve to dithering.

Try it at 1280x1024 60Hz.

I think your monitor is miscalibrated. It should have excellent clarity,
brilliance and saturation if running at native resolution. You can try
1280x1024 70Hz as well. Personally, I bought a new 19" LG Flatron F900B
that a store had sitting around for 14months. It's now discontinued. High
end CRT's are few and far between these days.
