    Just looking for a better monitor without spending a ton (slight gamer)

    I recently built a new system and I ended up splurging on a GTX 1080. I mainly do office work from home and screen quality/refresh rate hasn't been an issue, except when I game here and there. I've had the same monitors for the last decade ( 2 x Acer x223wbd) and I feel like it's time to...

    Trying to acheive smooth screen display on my system

    I'm sorry.. I sort of am taking your suggestion though. I plan to get a higher hz monitor if I can afford it, but I really can't spend more than $200 and would like to stay around the $150 if possible. And thanks for mentioning that about Acer. I think I remember hearing something like that...

    Trying to acheive smooth screen display on my system

    Thanks for basically confirming my issue. So it's simply a shitty monitor... I guess I never really thought much about monitor quality and spent all my money on the rest of my system. I will defiantly get a new monitor asap.

    Trying to acheive smooth screen display on my system

    Thanks for the reply guys. I don't think the problem is ghosting per se.. I'm really thinking that it's just because I bought this monitor back in 2008 for like $100 and I've been too lazy/cheap to spend a little extra on a faster and better monitor. This shit's been so hard on my eyes but...

    Trying to acheive smooth screen display on my system

    A long time ago, I used to play Unreal Tournament on our computers in school, in CAD class, after we finished work. This was back in the day of CRT monitors. I vividly remember being blown away by how utterly smooth the video was while playing. Like, I could turn left/right and look up/down...

    Is Hardforum affiliated with forumsee.com?

    I am asking because I posted a question in one of the sections the other day and then googled my title and one of the top results was hardware.forumsee.com and it was basically an auto-copy and post of what I had posted, just on a different webpage with different theme and more advertisements. I...

    Can't get second VGA display working with VGA to HDMI cable

    haha I know... its confusing to write out.. My monitors: 1 DVI and 1 VGA My video card outs: DVI, HDMI, 2xMini display port What I did: I naturally hooked up my DVI monitor to my DVI port on the video card. I then had the VGA monitor waiting to be connected, but needed a VGA to HDMI...

    No, I have my DVI monitor connected to the DVI port on my video card.

    Can't get second VGA display working with VGA to HDMI cable

    Apparently I have 2 x mini display ports, which I've never heard of until now. Then there is HDMI and DVI out. So maybe I can use the two mini display ports, but I'll need new adapter cables.

    Can't get second VGA display working with VGA to HDMI cable

    So, in summation, I am stuck with one single monitor with this video card, correct? Then my only other option is to get a second video card in there.

    Can't get second VGA display working with VGA to HDMI cable

    ok... wait.... so the problem is the VGA aspect of the hardware (that it's not compatible with HDCP) correct? What is the solution? Can I just get a HDMI monitor and then use that along with my DVI monitor?? Or am I only going to be able to use one or the other?

    Can't get second VGA display working with VGA to HDMI cable

    So my old video card was a GeForce 9800GTX+ which had a DVI and VGA out. I had to displays set up and working fine -- main one was DVI and the other was VGA. I got a new MSI R7850 to replace the old card. I connected my DVI monitor and then bought a VGA to DVI cable from Amazon to use with my...

    Can I run an MSI R7850 with a nVidia GeForce 9800?

    Yeah I'm noticing the performance drop. I didn't know that about the disabled cuda, but it makes sense.
