17" Dell Flat Panel Screen
"Simon Harris" wrote in message ... Hi All, I have recently purchased a Dell 4600 system, with a 17" flat panel screen. The screen is connected to the DVI output on an ATI Radeon 9800 card. Native resolution is 1280x1024 @ 60hz. I am running in 32bit colour. I've installed the monitor driver. Now, the picture is near perfect - Very clear, fills the screen to the exact edges - Looks the bizznizz!! BUT...it hurts my eyes! I find more than 10 minutes in front of the screen gives me the kind of spots in front of my eyes that you sometimes get when very tired. Do I have a faulty screen? Have I set something up wrong? Perhaps I'm just not used to the hi res (Normally run one up from 1024x768 (What ever that is!) Got to go now....eyes need a break!! Regards, Simon. Not sure about how flat panels work but 60hz gives me a headache. Try raising it to 75hz. If that doesnn't work try lowering the resolution one step. I just got a Radeon 9200 card and it too has a native resolution of 1280x1024. Made my eyes and head hurt. I wasn't used to looking at everything so small. HTH, I am definatly not a monitor expert. nECrO |

HTH, I am definatly not a monitor expert. nECrO I'm using a IBM ThinkVision L170P at 1280x1024, and I have found that it doesn't work well at 75Hz. Keeps going black for a few seconds, then coming back (aslo a digital connection). I dropped it down to 60Hz, and not only does it work perfectly now, but I can't tell the difference in the quality between 75Hz. and 60Hz. BTW, I highly recommend this monitor. -- Christian Cantrell www.sparkshop.com Everything Electronic |
