Multiple Monitor Display
Hi,

Today I have linked up two lcd televisions to my Nvidia Gforce 8600 gt graphics card using VGA to VGA and DVI to HDMI connections. One monitor can use a resolution of 75hz whilst the other will only allow 60hz (I have tried them as the same and both at their optimal res and framerates).

My problem is that the second monitor is completely blurry....i have attempted to adjust sharpness but it will not allow me to move the tab from zero. I have also switched the connections and the television attached to VGA is always the clearest screen and whichever TV is connected via HDMI is always blurred - we have tried a second cable (got both together today) and still have the same problem even when in single monitor mode. Possibly graphics card driver problems?

If someone could help me fix this issue I would be really grateful. Have looked on google and seen that its a problem for other people with alternate graphics cards but cannot find a solution.

Thanks!!

rapid help,
quotes in part:
'lcd televisions'
'completely blurry'
.
a pc monitor and a television may LOOK similar,
but if you check the specifications,
specifically the dpi for the resolutions,
they are pretty much two different animals,
.
while a pc monitor can be used for viewing media items,
such as movies and games,
the opposite is NOT necessarily true,
UNLESS the manufacturer has stated something like 'monitor / tv'
you will find that trying to view text just leaves a lot to be desired,
.
that's the simple answer,
the technical answer goes much deeper,
