Question:

Color Noise on dark colors from LCD monitor?

I picked up a 19 Hanns G LCD monitor to use with my laptop as an external monitor. The connection is a standard VGA and using the VGA out from the laptop. The issue is, on dark colors (but not black!), it looks like there's a little bit of noise or fuzziness only on those darker colors. On lighter colors, there are no issues. The colors overall look balanced and bright. The 'moving noise' is hardly noticeable unless you're a few inches away from the screen, but want to be safe since it's brand new and can return it if necessary. Is this normal on some LCD's? Could it just be the analog signal? Anything else it could be? Thanks!

Answer:

Your could try bumping up the refresh-rate through your display settings, but it is most likely a result of being a poor-quality monitor
That's just normal on some LCDs. Most don't have good color contrast at the high or low ends.
Perhaps the video adapter (or graphics) driver needs to be updated. Go to the microsoft update website and click on custom and you will other software you can update. You could also try another cord. If that does not work, it may be normal for a LCD monitor to do that. Esp, a external one or the laptop itself. If you are really concerned, you can try another LCD monitor and see if does the same thing.
