HELP!!!!

Windowblinds

January 3, 2005 4:53 PM from

I received a new monitor for Christmas. It works great except the window blinds don't look as sharp in the higher res.
It is now 1280x1024. Is there anything I can do?? Thanks Kathy

Sharp meaning the graphics? The only changed aspect here is the monitor, so maybe the monitor is a bit screwy. Upload a screenshot at ImageShack and show us!

Your monitor may not be set up properly if it's using the previous monitor's settings.
open Display Properties, click the Settings Tab, click the Advanced button, on the monitor tab make sure it lists your new monitor. If it does then make sure that the Hide modes this monitor cannot display is checked. You can initially change the frequesncy (Hertz) to a larger number. This will help sharpen the display. The higher the frequency the better. You should also check the tab for color management to see if the profile fits the monitor you installed.
This is just a starting point your video card may be the culprit as well.
Hope this helps.
