Hi Paul,

Here are some things to check:

1. Check to make sure that your screen resolution is set to the native (recommended) resolution for the LCD monitor.

2. Try increasing the screen refresh rate. 75 hertz is usually a good setting.

3. You should have ClearType on for a LCD monitor.

4. Check for a new video driver and install it, or reinstall your current one.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Paul,

Try uninstalling you video drivers in Device Manager and restart the computer to see if the default drivers Vista gives it will work. If not, you might try replacing you video device with another one, a friend's perhaps, to see if you have a defective one.

Paul,

For LCD screens, yes. They usually only look great when the screen resolution is set to the monitor's native resolution size.

Glad to hear you got it resolved.
