ok i've bitten the bullet and sold off my desktop to raise money for my new creation, in the mean time im using my laptop as my main (which is pretty good considering) and it has a vga output. my problem is that when i connect my 22" lcd the image is fuzzy at 1680x1050 which is the native res for the lcd, its also equally fuzzy at 1280x800 the laptops lcd native res, yet when i connect my 360 to the vga on the lcd it runs crystal clear zero artifacts or blurry ness which leads me to believe that im either 1 doing something wrong for the setup or 2 the vga cable for my 360 is extreamly good quality. so can anyone give me some pointers as to what to check?
 
make sure your video card drivers are up to date.
other than that, some laptops just tend to have lower quality outputs than others.
also, when outputting, you should do what you did first, which is the native resolution for the LCD screen for the best image. sadly, that's probably the best you'll get.
 
You should manually do an auto adjust on the 22" monitor when you plug in your notebook to your LCD monitor. I notice it to when I connect my 14" IBM notbook to an LCD. The text looks fuzzy like it's not sharp all around. Then, I do a manual auto adjust to it and it makes an improvement. Sometimes the monitor does an auto adjust when you connect to the VGA port. Sometimes it doesn't and therefore you need to set it to auto adjust.
 
thx for the reply's I tried the manual auto adjust and the text did get a little better but it still has a slight haze to it. as far as the output im gonna try it with a different vga cable the one i got is pretty cheap ( paid like 6 bucks for it) maybe thats it, at least i hope that is and not that the vga output is just crappy.
 
Try switching between cleartype and standard font smoothing. Some LCDs like one or the other better.
