Hi,
I've just got hold of a wharfedale lcd TV 20inch screen.
the picture on the TV is great. i bought it as it has a pc monitor input. the problem is my windows desktop is awful. the clarity is really not as good as my old 15" tft monitor. all of the lettering on the screen is blurry.
i've loaded up a game and the graphics are fine in that, really clear. it's a 2.1gig machine with 512 meg ram and a 64 meg geeforce 8x AGP graphics card. the handbook says the monitor should run at 1024x768 which it is.
anyone think why the picture might be so crappy? could it just be settings, or do i need an even better graphics card?
thanks
