NEC CRT Monitors

Wow. After all this headache with the blurriness, all I had to do was tweak the screws on the side of the monitor for a much better (although not perfect) picture. Two questions: 1. Why in the hell doesn't NEC support tell people about this? 2. Why do they make these srews so friggin...

Is there a difference between a DVI-A to VGA adapter and a DVI to VGA adapter?

alexandernevsky: Still tweaking it, getting a little better but still no comparison to my LCD. BenSkywalker mentioned that it may be an issue with my VGA to DVI adapter. I hope this is not the case since my 6800 GT card only has DVI inputs.

Wolfman: I'll modify my settings to replicate yours just for giggles...let's see what happens. How crisp and bright is your text compared to an LCD? By the way, I just purchased the Klipsch speakers you have and they rock! Rhino: Any progress?

RhinO: I may be having the same issues as you. I am super sensitive to changes in my display. And I am also conditioned to looking at text on an LCD which is super bright and super crisp. The text on my CRT isn't horrible, it just isn't great. However, the text on my CRT at work looks...

Display Blurry on 6800GT (**Problem Fixed**)

I actually have a similar problem with my system. I have twin 6800 GT's in SLI mode. Games look great but text in Windows apps looks blurry and not sharp. I have a new NEC FP2141SB 22" monitor. At first I thought that the blurriness was due to the fact that aperture grills ar just not as...

One other thing. The monitor comes with an analog VGA cord. Yet the eVGA 6800 GT only has DVI connectors. Therefore, I am using an analog to DVI adapter. Could this be the culprit?

I don't think the issue is SLI. I have set my rig with and without SLI enabled and it makes no difference. The EMI theory is interesting but I don't think this is it either as my gaming apps look OUTSTANDING. The blurry text issue is with word processing and internet browsers. The desktop...

I tried that. It really doesn't look any different. I think it is a function of having an aperture grill crt. Text just doesn't look as crisp compared to an LCD.

Yep, 2 brightness settings. Even with the brightness feature off, still doesn't look that good. I've considered the dual monitor option but you can't do it in SLI mode with two vid cards. Generally speaking though, are LCD's just plain better when it comes to word processing and web browsing?

I apologize idf this has been asked before, but if I'm using 2 6800 GT cards in SLI mode, do these cards have to be PCIexpress compatible? Thanks.

Velocity Micro

I have decided I don't have the time to build my own rig. I was considering Voodoo but it's way too expensive (it seems like you end up paying serious $$ just for the case, which I really don't care about as long as it doesn't contribute to overheating). Anyway, Velocity Micro is considerably...

SLi - voodoo vs. alienware

NoGodforMe: You're exactly right. As I read this forum, I'm leaning more and more towards building my own system. Did you build your own and if so, any major issues? Thanks.

I'm also getting a 22" CRT monitor., Klipsch speakers ($400), Pioneer dual layer 16x DVD+-RW. BUt you're right, sounds like ABS can do it cheaper. What about support? Does ABS compare?
