DSTM Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 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.:) Quote Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
Seth Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 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.

DSTM Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 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. Quote Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
Seth Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 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? Quote Need help with your computer problems? Then why not join Free PC Help.

DSTM Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 I will hook it up to the New Computer, Seth. Quote Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
Dalo Harkin Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Is the resolution set right Doug?

DSTM Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 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.:) Wolfey,this thread can be closed,mate.
