Is it my monitor or video card?
I have the GEFORCE 2 MX400 for about one year on a BX motherboard. The
display is not clear on the left side of the screen. It's not too blurry, but definitely noticeable. I just had my tube replaced on my AOC 17GLR monitor. I'm trying to get a hold of another video card to see if it's the card or monitor. What do y'all think? |

Try switching out the cable, first. A Hell of a lot less expensive...

I am absolutely shure it is AOC fault.
AOC is piece of ****. My cousin had the same one and showed me the exactly the same issue - blurry left side. He sold it for a half of the price (to some needy) and bought Hyundai for almost the same price. In my opinion Hyundai is a good cheap monitor. We use them at work. They have shadowmask tube so the colors are not as good as if you have trinitron tube, but they are very good and there are no 2 horizontal lines that you can see on trinitron tube. Hyundai have sharp image - not blurry as AOC. To be onest I must admit that shadowmask tube is not 100% flat if you compare it to trinitron/diamondtron, but as I wrote, Hyoundai is 10x better for the same price than AOC. Actually AOC is the worst one I have ever seen. Trust me and don't waste your time by changing graphics card. HTH David P.S. At home I have Mitsubishi/NEC 930SB and I'm very satisfied, but this one was quite expensive. |

Thanks...it turned out to be the monitor. Now, I have to lug the damn thing
back to the repair shop when they usually close by the time I leave work. "Harrie" wrote in message e... | Try switching out the cable, first.

The sharpness of an image can differ a little | bit among videocards, but the differences are very subtle and homogenous | over the screen. | | Wishing You good luck!!! | | Greetings, | René | | |
