That video card is too sophisticated for that monitor. the monitor simply cant handle the information bombarding it. Happened when i once plugged a 10 year old monitor into a brand new Sony VAIO. Anyway, to make sure thats the problem, plug ur comp into a newer screen and see what happens.

I highly doubt this is the problem, I mix and match monitors that are around since I was in diapers with new PC's all the time.

well, hopefuly im not getting the wrong idea across, its not like fuzzy to where i squint and ect. its just not a sharp as it used to be, even on this same vid card 4 months ago, i do admit my cell phone rings and when it does my monitor goes wacko, it may be due to that over a long period. ill try the new monitor thing when i go back home this weekend. i wish i still had a spare video card laying around to test. maybei should stop giving them away for free lol. thanks all. keep replying if you have more ideas.

.. if i look close into the monitor like on my desktop for say, you can see continuous lines that wave from corner to corner , looks like a big fingerprint. lol.
