I just purchased a LCD monitor last night after using a CRT monitor for 15 years. I feel funny. :( I don't know what is wrong with me but something is not right. I have adjusted so many settings and I cant quite place what it is. I dont see any flickering, but it seems I have to strain. I do have bad eyes anyway. I also have seizures. I have always viewed my screen at 800x600. I know lots of people dont like this setting. Anyway, I tried the suggested setting, and several others and the only one that looks right is still 800x600. It seems so much bigger on the LCD monitor though. It is a 19inch, and I had been using a 17inch CRT.I just dont know whats wrong, but somethings not right. Anyone else ever have this type of problem when changing from CRT to LCD?
LCDs have one optimum resolution and usually changing the options settings won't improve anything. A CRT can make half dots, so to speak. A LCD cannot. The CRT will have smoother curves on the text and graphics in some situations. Thus CRT will allow readable screens at different resolutions.
I've heard a few times that you are supposed to look away from the display every 20 mins or so. Look at a colorful image on the wall or something.
LCD panels have a native resolution. they look blurry and fuzzy if set to the wrong size. under the resolution bar (i assume you know where it is) slide it all the way to the right. apply and then goto advanced and change the refresh to 60hz. LCD's all work at 60Hz. i can tell you right off the bat that a 19 LCD is not 800x600 it's either 1024x768 or 2048x1024. also it might help to enable Cleartype on windows XP. it helps to clear up text on a LCD. try leaving the light on in the room too.
