Hello, In win xp and vista I could set the resolution of my monitor to 1024x768 and the screen looked perfect. However in win 7 only the native resolution looks perfect, any other resolution looks blurry. I also tried game that uses 800x600, but again blurry. Things I already tried: The driver for the graphic card from microsoft, didn't change anything. The latest driver from nvidia for win 7, no change. Is there a way that I can use the 1024x768 resolution again in win 7 with a clear screen?
What graphics card is it you have installed - the model number/name? Also if your text looks a bit blurry you can try the Clear Type Tuner built into Win 7.
The grafic card is Geforce 8800gt. Clear type inproves it a bit, but it is still blurry. It not only the text that is blurry but everything, only the native resolution looks good.
I guess you have a wide screen monitor (16:9) and you try to use non-proportional resolution (4:3). By default, all VGA cards lean to fill monitor area for non-optimal resolutions which blurs the image. You can use your VGA control panel settings to direct it not to fill the monitor area (i.e. let it preserve aspect ratio or center screen) but this may lead to letter box effect (black strips on sides).
No, it's a 4:3 19". It's not a so recent screen. I found this and it should help. But I haven't tried it yet, because I don't really understand what it does. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM Add DWORD HideBlur with the value of 1
