Blurry monitor on old Dell XPS450

Question

Help--monitor was great, sharp and clear (Dell 1028L, nVidia RIVA TNT) until I reformatted hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP Home.  Cable is fine, (switched it with cable for my new Dell and both are ok) Clear Type smoothing is noticeably blurrier, resolution at 1024 by 768 is much worse than at 800x 600.  I always had 1024 by 768 before.  Refresh rate is 85 hertz, and always was before.  Can;t find video card drivers on the Dell website--would they help?

If you try the 1028 monitor on the new Dell, does it look blurry? Also, if your contrast is maxed out, might cause blurring. Clear type does blur fonts a bit, works better on an LCD type monitor. Message Edited by JDre on 10-15-2004 03:39 PM
