[SOLVED] LED Monitor settings question

Digerati · Digerati's Computer Specs

I agree to use the native resolution of the monitor, and a digital (DVI or HDMI) connection. If you find that text is too small, pressing Ctrl + and Ctrl - will zoom in and out with many applications.

My vision is 20/400 in left eye and my right eye I only see out of the far right side of, nothing in front of it except blackness. With my eyeglasses on I can see ok, but it isn't perfect.

I would recommend you use smaller resolutions to make it easier on your eyes, such as 648p & 720p. But no matter what the resolution, use zoom in browsers and if necessary use windows 7 special features:

If your monitor comes with the driver then be sure to install it. Adjust brightness and contrast so your eyes don't get tired. To adjust brightness and contrast, you can use the monitor controls and the video card setting such as desktop colors.

I'm gonna have to agree with the others on using the native monitor resolutions.

If you find that you need a larger font, change Windows Display option. (small, medium, large)
Control Panel >> All Control Panel Items >> Display

And then as the others suggest, there is always the zoom options as you are working.

One other thing, if the room is not very bright you may need to adjust the brightness. I recently purchased a LG monitors that has what is called gamma. The monitor seemed to bright so I bumped the gamma down one notch.

I agree with you on the hd. Would I see any benefit with the HDMI-DVD converotor cable along with the dual link DVI cable ?

However by then you'll be going through another round of upgradeitis and replacing a lot of your hardware.

I plan to get an SSD myself, but not because the hard drive is a weak link, it's because I WANT ONE! LOL!

If you'll notice the DVI cable that came with the monitor is a Single Link connector not a Dual Link connector. That's why I posted photos of both so you would see what I meant. You would notice an improvement of picture probably only if you use an HDMI to DVI-D Dual Link connection though. IF it were me, save the HDMI for the big screen TV and get a DVI-D Dual Link connector cable.

You still didn't answer my one question from the other post... how many motherboards did you return??
