Text Snowy.

[DSTM]

Hi Guys.This is the old PC. The text on the Monitor went Snowy.By that I mean white around the edges.It is a 19" LCD Flat Screen.Happened all of a sudden. Its a CHIMEI CMV936A. I Googled and can seem to find a help TUT to fine tune it. Just out of Warranty. Any help appreciated.

Hi Doug.

Is it happening in all programs?

Try to toggle the clear type:

HOW TO: Use ClearType to Enhance Screen Fonts in Windows XP

Other options would be trying the "Auto Adjust" button on the monitor, as well as going into the monitor's menu and restoring the defaults.

Thanks for the quick reply Seth.I forgot to say I hooked up an old 14" Monitor,and the text is brilliant,and sharp. I played with the monitor buttons, and then set Auto adjust, and then,set to default,but made no improvement.So whats your advice after this late info,Seth.Should I go into XP still? This happened at exactly the time I downloaded some Desktop Pics from Webshots.

Well since the other monitor is fine, I can't see how it would be a problem with XP. But, try to toggle the clear type anyway.

Any chance you can try that monitor on a different computer?

I will hook it up to the New Computer, Seth.

Is the resolution set right Doug?

I hooked the Monitor up to the New Computer, and not much difference.I then played around with all the settings,including Resolution,as you suggested,Dalo. I managed to work out how to navigate,eventually.Would be nice, if they supplied a "How To" with these Monitors.Much better now,as it was giving me a bad headache, the way it was.Thanks Seth, and Dalo, for your input,much appreciated.
