    Got a new computer at work: Windows 7 professional with an nVidia Quadro2000, native resolution, latest drivers. On my main screen (Westinghouse l2410nm, monitor), all the fonts look crappy, there is ghosting, individual letters are not good (pixel doubling, some letters look bold, ... ) I tried switching cleartype on or off but that does not change much. I tried changing refresh rates, but it is stuck at 59mhz (I can only chnage it to 60mhz!) Am I missing a setting somewhere ? ----------- Seems a lot of people have issues with that monitor which is a TV by design. There are a lot of hack'n'slash fixes out there, modifying the registry or the EDID file, sometihng I'm not ready to do. So I simply switched monitor with someone else. thanks.

    Watched code never compiles.

      Are you using a KVM switch? Cheap ones usually ruin the video.

      The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
