Diamondtron Monitor Refresh Rates
I am experiencing a strange problem with my V7 22 Diamondtron monitor. I am running Win2k with sp2 and have a screen resolution at 1024*768 and a refresh rate of 75mhz (I have the specific manufacturers drivers for the monitor installed).
I am experiencing a strange problem with my V7 22" Diamondtron monitor.
I am running Win2k with sp2 and have a screen resolution at 1024*768 and a refresh rate of 75mhz (I have the specific manufacturers drivers for the monitor installed).
The problem is when I increase the refresh rate the picture is not as crystal clear as it is at 75. Any characters on the screen appear slightly blurred.
I tried increasing the rate to 120mhz (which the monitor quite happily supports) and also installed nvreffix and set it to 120mhz (I have a CL Geforce DDR) but still blurred.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in Advance,

Oh BTW:
System:
Athlon 800 Classic (not o/c)
Asus K7V
CL GeForce DDR
256 meg memory
Highpoint Raid HP370 Controller (I know this can cause funny things??)
SB Live! Value
Win2k SP2

Yup, the problem is that you have an NVidia card!
Before you all start jumping in and start accusing me of a flame.
NVidia cards have always lacked in general 2D quality and overall image quality.
Sure they might offer the best 3D performance, but for work under Windows the performance is lacklustre to say the least.
I currently own a GF2 Ultra card and the image quality on screen is pretty dire to when I had my Matrox G400MAX (Matrox cards incidently still give the best 2D image quality out there).
I'm told that the image quality on a G3 is a lot better, but after seeing one I'm still not convinced it's in Matrox's league.
