Re: blurry LCD monitor

silly thought, is it possible that someone used a chemical
cleaner on the LCD and damaged the screen?

LG L1932P doesn't appear to be a widescreen model

....and if it was, reasonably recent Nvidia graphics cards /
driver software allow you to manually define a screen mode,
which is I think what one ends up doing with for example a
widescreen 1440x900 pixel LCD monitor !
....which brings me to the point I initially intended to
make, ...define your own screen geometry in your Nvidia
software "Custom Resolutions and Refresh Rates, if 1280x1024
isn't there - if you can't - time for a new graphics card."

In my view it would be worth buying a newer graphics card
with a DVI port AND analogue 15 pin D-sub port on it - if
and when the monitor DVI input port dies, you can still use
it on analogue - like me until I get my on-site swap out.
The picture quality is significantly and noticeably better
when injecting the picture into the thing with a DVI signal
(direct pixel addressing). ...and using the DVI port, to
get the best out of it, you do need the graphics card to be
sending the picture along to the monitor in the monitors
'native' mode. i.e. if your monitor has 1280x1024 pixels on
it, select 1280x1024 in your graphics cards software/driver,
and check that the refresh rate isn't higher that 75hz.

I tried the nvidia drivers, but the latest wouldn't work so
I had to
install some older drivers but that didn't help it either
:(
