Re: [CGUYS] LCD Monitor and color fringing
Are you running the display at the native resolution of the LCD monitor? If not, the process of computing the display for each pixel may be producing the fringing.

Re: [CGUYS] LCD Monitor and color fringing
Get a video card with a digital output, and use the digital cable to connect the LCD monitor to the video card. The color fringing is almost certainly caused in the part of the circuitry where the signal is analog. Could even be caused by a poor quality analog (VGA) video cable.

Re: [CGUYS] LCD Monitor and color fringing
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I actually tried it both ways (VGA and digital), with no recognizable difference. I am using the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 video card, so digital support should be pretty good. This is a 24 monitor. My wife's computer with a 20 monitor doesn't do this. Any relation?

Re: [CGUYS] LCD Monitor and color fringing
Swap them and see what happens if it occurs on her computer it is the monitor does not check the video card. Do you have the latest drivers installed? have you optimized the card for your display?

The color fringing is almost certainly caused in the part of the circuitry where the signal is analog. Could even be caused by a poor quality analog (VGA) video cable. I am surprised how often LCDs with digital inputs are connected using VGA cables. I have even seen DVI to VGA adapters used in situations where the computer did not have a VGA and the LCD had noth VGA and DVI. However, the prize goes to the IT tech who connect with both the VGA and DVI cables simultaneously.

I don't know what the problem is, but I can tell you that I also have a Dell 24 Ultrasharp, and there's no color fringing. I like it a lot. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
