Oh yeahs orry bout that, err, Does it do the same thing at lower resolutitions?...Jiggly_Wiggly

I get a nasty blur when attempting to run at certain resolutions. Often it isn't noticable in windows, but in games. For this monitor, I get blurring at any resolution other than 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, and 1280 x 1024

But every monitor will produce some blurring when attempting to run it at certain resolution that it wasn't ideally made for. Thats normal, right?

But about this refresh rate thing, its always been going on. Since before I had this particular monitor. I've been seeing it on my old 17 inch CRT (Viewsonic A75F) and my old 15 inch LCD (NEC Multisync 1525v? I think thats what it was). I don't believe its monitor-specific.

When I had my geforce 3 Ti 200 (2002?) the screen would blur at any refresh rate above 60hz

When I had my geforce 4 ti 4200 (2003-2004) the screen would blur at 60hz, but it would be sharp and crisp at 75hz (the maximum my 15 inch LCD I had would go up to)

When I got my geforce 6800, again, anything above 60hz will cause blurring.

So unless Geforce 6800s are dodgy cards, I'm pissed right now. I don't intend to be stuck choosing between 60hz or annoyingly blurry display into my next system build and beyond. I intend to get to the bottom of this.

60 isnt good at all...ncderek

Maybe not. But it isn't worth increasing the refresh rate if the image on screen isn't sharp and crisp anymore. Care to tell me how I might adjust that? SO I can run at 85hz painlessly?

To the OP: What kind of monitor do you have (Make/Model, or at the very least what -type- of display technology)?

Even though my monitor is capable of doing well over 60hz, the screen gets blurry when it set it to anything above 60. Smaller text is especially painful to read. This happens on any monitor I use. How do I adjust the focus so the image is sharp again? This is ridiculous.
