I don't know what happened but I must have done something to make the icons very blurry. Feels like my monitor is running in 16 bit color. I am currently using an ATI 9800Pro and 22" Westinghouse. I recently installed Windowblinds but I am not sure if that is the cause of it.

Does your monitor support 1680x1050. Try setting it to a lower setting and see if that helps.

Yes, my monitor is the Westinghouse 22" widescreen that runs 1680x1050 native.

When I first plugged it in, it wasn't like this. It must have been something I did but I can't figure it out. :mad:
 
The only issue in your pic is jpg artifacts around the text/icons. So I don't see a real problem.

Try checking your cabline. Use both VGA and DVI, switch between them.
 
if you have a digital camera you might want to go that way to show us whats wrong, i cant see anything wrong with it...did you mess with the drivers or anything? was there some calibration that went off, check the settings on you vid card, you could try re-installing/updating your drivers
 
Amazing how people can't see the problem even when they're staring right at it.

The icons look like crap because they're being resized without interpolation. I don't know why that's happening though. It's not a monitor or driver problem.

Edit: I was just able to reproduce this by changing the DPI. That's nasty. I didn't realize it would do that. I don't normally use Windows.
 
Toasty, that would be because you are mistaken. The problem in the image is jpg artifacts, not resizing, because the image has not been resized. His desktop is 1680x1050 and so is the image.

He could post a PNG to make doubly sure, but it doesn't look to me like there is source problem, this is a hardware issue. Either:

1: Cables
2: Vid Card issue
3: LCD issue

Use VGA and DVI cables and see if there is a difference.
 
I see the JPEG artifacts. That's not what I'm talking about. The icons are being resized, not the image. Like I said, I changed the DPI and got the same thing:

120dpi.png


Notice how the icons look like crap.
 
Right click at desktop
click properties
click the "Setting" tab, click advanced
at the "general" tab, change the DPI to 96, restart

It might be this problem B'cuz your icons are so far from each other, obvious from the first picture you've posted. Dunno though if this would 100% solve the problem.
 
it's because of theme u're using ^^

edit; i'm stupid, didnt notice everything is higher dpi than normal, looked only like icons are bigger :)
