I recently had a computer repair friendly family member upgrade my desktop computer. I had a Gigabyte B75M-D3H motherboard installed, new Samsung S27D360 monitor and a 2 TB hard drive. We then upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 - 8.1. When we had Windows 8 installed the monitor looked great. The next morning I had an issue with some Windows 8 updates not loading correctly.
I spoke to a Microsoft tech that told me that I needed to re-install Windows 8. I did and then started downloading the available updates and then proceeded to get Windows 8.1. During the whole process, I noticed that the monitor never looked quite right. I tried another monitor and it also looked real bad. We couldn't get the computer to use the onboard video for some reason after making the changes in the bios to enable it.
I installed an Nvidia Quadro 2000 video card thinking that it would fix the issue. I installed the video card, downloaded the Nvidia utility, installed the newest driver and the monitor still looks like crap.
Does anyone know what I can do in layman's terms so I can get this monitor looking it best and like it should?
I thank your for your assistance!
