Greetings all,

Been looking around for a good h/w enthusiast's forum for a while now, seems like this is my best bet. I'm having a weird problem with my display, perhaps someone can help.

I'm running a nVidia Vanta LT PCI gfx card on what used to be the guts of an old-ass HP minitower (Pavilion 6635), and I'm noticing that with screen resolutions higher than 1024x768, my display is, as the thread title might suggest, fuzzy. Specifically, I'm seeing wavy distortions that make a straight vertical line appear jagged. Here are the system specs (pathetic as they are :D)

CPU: Celeron 533 (Deschutes)
RAM: 192MB PC100
MOBO: HP OEM, Pavilion 6600 series
Vid card: nVidia Vanta LT PCI, 16MB RAM
OS: Win2000, SP4, patched up to current as of today (2005-2-04)

The vidcard is in the bottom-most of three PCI slots, with the other two occupied by a Chaintech AV-710 (best $25 sound card EVER :D), and a SMC 10/100 NIC. Attempts to utilize other slots have resulted in the system hanging on the POST PCI autodetect routine.

I know this is a truly ancient setup, but it's the best I've got until I can scrape together the $$$ for a decent A64 rig. Any help you can offer would be most appreciated. :)
 
First it will help to know the type of Monitor you are useing.

If you are useing a LCD display, they have a Native Resolution, useing the monitor at any other resolution will cause the screen to look blurry, differant resolutions will vary in blurryness. I am thinking theat most 15" LCDs have a native resolution of 1024x768, Trying to run one at 1280x1024 will cause distortion.

Welcome to the [H]!

P.S. As a friendly suggestion, you should read all of the Forum rules, one of them states that your signiture most not exceed 10 lines, you are over that limit.
 
Right, knew I was forgetting something. :p

Monitor is a ViewSonic Pro series P95f+b 19" CRT. I've tested it with several other, newer vid cards, and the display is razor sharp (as it should be).

Also, I have it hooked up through a ViewSonic N4 TV Tuner box, which uses VGA pass-through circuit when it's not mediating between my monitor and my PS2. Have tested the monitor on this card w/o the N4, no change.
