Hey David,

KDS isn't exactly my favorite monitor manufacturer, but you might want to try changing your refresh rates.

If you have a 19" monitor, the standard viewable area is around 18.0". I like to run 1024x768 in that case (Not too big, not too small).

Make sure you have the proper video card driver installed, and run in in that resolution using 16 bit color. Try going to the advanced settings page and change the refresh rates to 85hz - 100hz. Check the specs of the monitor first though. I know mine can handle 160hz, but many new monitors can't handle above 120hz.

The lower your refresh rate is on a big screen with half-decent resolution, the fuzzy the screen looks and the harder it is on you eyes.

Hope that helps,

Rich

Video card talk??????
I haven't read from this thread for awhile, but saw some video card questions...

Number 9 seems to have a great card out now. nine.com I'm running 3 monitors through Win 98, w/24 bit cards, and think I'll try these cards. Also when I upgraded to Win 98, My computer ran like sh*t until I max'ed out the memory chips.

If I'm way off topic here sorry. Just thought I would give my 2 cents worth...
