I've had a dual monitor set up for a while now. All is well, and would never consider anything but dual monitor.
Earlier this year I was lucky enough to win a Toshiba 20" LCD flat panel digital TV/DVD combo unit (20HLV86). We have been using it in our 3 season room, but now I have brought it in for the winter. So I notice it has a PC option and a VGA input. Tonight I swap out my 17" CRT for this 20" LCD, but I can't seem to get the settings right, or it just isn't a good PC monitor.
Although it is nice and bright, I find the text not very solid. The settings I have are 1024 X 768; color Highest (32 bit). In the advanced options I have Normal size (96 DPI) and in the Advanced/Monitor tab it is set for 85 Hertz. I'm not sure what other settings I can do to make the text look better. It almost looks like a font issue, but I don't know. Any thoughts or ideas I can try?
As for the other monitor, it now pales in comparison. It looks dull and I think I may see some jitteryness, which could be the refresh rate. What is a standard refresh rate for your normal 19" CRT type monitor?
