DVI & 6600GT

I changed from VGA to DVI/HDMI for my 26inch widescreen Samsumg monitor and
with this configuration
text is very difficult to read. I set up various HDTV display settings such
as 720p & 1081i. 1080i is really bad.
I have tried various resolutions 1280x720 but the screen is to wide.
Currenlty I have the resltion set at 1176x664.
At this resolution the desktop fits fine, but text is very pixalted. The
native resolution for this monitor is 1360x768.

I tried setting the native resolution using Power strip, but this res
centers every thing in a small area of the monitor destop.

Also games will only play in a small center area of the screen.

What settings are you guys using for wide screen setups?
I am using the latest 81.95 drivers.

Thanks
Rick

Try to use ClearType that cleans up the text on a LCD and makes look great.
Believe it is a part of WINXP in config. If not goto microsoft.com to get
it.

Yes I have that checked, and text still looks bad. It almost glows at you...

Via HDMI you will not get the native resolution of the samsung monitor as it
overscans the signal. To get the best signal by dvi/hdmi, you need to input
720p. Due to the overscanning it means you are not getting 1:1. To get the
best picture stick to VGA. It should be crystal clear though it.
