Hello to all,
I recently purchase a Samsung 20” widescreen monitor (204-bw).  The graphic images look good but portions of the text lines are blurry.  Not all the text is blurry, just text in certain areas of the screen.  If I scroll down then the text that was blurry will become clear and vise versa.  I know it could be a couple of things causing this problem.  For instance, my video card is about 5 years old and will not go to the native resolution of the monitor, but I don’t want it to anyway since everything gets smaller when the resolution is increased.  This video card is the Visiontek Xtacy 5864 with the Geforce 2 Ti chipset.  I don’t mind buying a new video card if it will correct the problem.  I just don’t want to spend the money on a new card if it will not correct the blurry text issue.  Could I get a card that would correct the problem and not require that I set the resolution to be so high?  This monitor also has the DVI connection.  Would it help if I were to upgrade my video card and use this connection rather than the analog connection I am using now?  Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you. 

Neil
