I have always noticed that, while playing games or whatever, my screen was always so much darker than anyone else's, even when I turn the contrast & brightness way up. But now I'm getting even worse problems. Every time I boot up my computer, or even wake it up from power save mode, the horizontal and vertical settings are messed. right now, I have it so the horizontal size is all the way down to 0, and I still can't see all of the start button, or the systray. It also goes way out of whack whenever I change the resolution or refresh rate. Right now I have it on 1124x720 or whatever and a refresh around 85.
So do you think it's the monitor or the card? I have a TNT2 Asus card and a Viewsonic monitor, pretty up-to-date drivers on each. I've only had the monitor for 2 years. I bought the video card 3 years ago, but have only been using it since I got the new monitor. Getting a new geforce 2 or 3 won't be much of a problem, but that monitor's a 19" and I don't feel like replacing it right now.
