    Recently purchased a benq g2400w.

    The text/fonts seem a bit blurry when I use it at its native resolution, 1920x1200 with 1:1 pixel mapping. However if i set resolution to 1280x1024 with 1:1 pixel mapping the text seems very clear.



    Why is this? Since at both resolutions I am using 1:1 pixel mapping?

    Anyone else faced similar issues? Is it possible to correct this?

    Any pointers would be appreciated



    thanks,

    Avg

    I am using vga. I have an asus a7n-266vm with onboard geforce2mx (i think).

    Even if I do go with dvi, I will need to get a vga to dvi converter (if thats possible). Also will it be worth it, will the difference be noticably good?



    neways, thanks for replying.

    not sure if u mean the thickness of text on lcds



    If on xp, use MS powertoys for Cleartype tuning wizard. That will make the texts cleartype and easy on eyes

    I dont seem to notice any thickness change, just that at the lesser resolution the text seems a lot better to read.

    I tried the tool you mentioned, not much difference though.

    You bet! I saw a massive difference in text sharpness between using VGA and DVI on my 22" when I set it up. And that was at 1680x1050. At your higher resolution, VGA would suck BIG TIME!

    Thanks for the inputs guys

    I hope a simple DVI converter should be enough. Looked around ebay, sells for around Rs. 300-400.

    Can the gf2-mx handle 1920 comfortably? I doubt it. Also, I don't think there's a vga-to-dvi convertor. What you saw might be a dvi-to-vga convertor.

    Yeah If your card only gives you vga output I don't think getting a converter would help.

    your onboard graphics is way out of date for this resolution . it's time for upgrade , or buy a cheapo pci-e gcard if your mobo has a pci-e slot .

    well as said above the converter wont help as the signal would still be analog..



    your best bet is to get a cheap dedicated graphics card which has a DVI port, hunt around for a 7200 or 7300 or some some from the ATI's x series ad you shud be good

    Uh, missed the Geforce2MX part. As mentioned by others, you'll need to step up to a newer graphics card that has native DVI-D output.

    I have already spent a bit on the benq 24 incher

    But my system is a bit old though, got it in 2002. So now seems a good time to upgrade, money permitting.
