Best quality settings for SAMSUNG FX2490HD

[wisher75]

I bought this monitor on newegg to replace my old 19in acer. However, I did this without heeding the reviews about how much of a pain it is to get a good picture and as it turns out I should have. Literally everything is blurry,i.e, text, movies,games,etc. I have spent almost all evening trying to figure this out but I have calc quiz tomorrow so I turned to the only resource I really trust about computers. Please help me I cannot for the life of me get this thing to look even halfway decent.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

The results depends heavily on your adaptor configuration and video modes.
For a quick tip, configure your hdmi port on monitor with the name "DVI PC", under source list / edit names, and let the defaults - the image will just pop. If you want more control (the brightness can be awful) just disable the magicbright feature.

Those sites below can give you a lot of tools to adjust your monitor:
