Monitor troubles

So we got the new monitor. 19" LCD. As far as footprint goes, yay, this is what monitors should be like! I spent a lot of yesterday moving the computers around so I could use the new monitor and get back to sitting (tentatively) at my desk.

Today I have a terrible headache. And as I am doing stuff on the computer, I think it's getting worse. Damn. I'm beginning to suspect it's eyestrain again, and the LCD is too fuzzy. I just yanked the screen resolution down, as I'm wondering if the mega huge size with everything so small was making it worse. We'll see.

[pout]I want to be able to use my new monitor and have everything be shiny![/pout]

LCD's look fuzzier if you don't run them at thier inherent resolution.

So you can have sharp, crisp, and very small print, or bigger and fuzzer print.

Hope you find a setup that works for you.

The very small print did NOT look sharp and crisp. It still looked fuzzy, just smaller.

Btw, how *do* you get all the cool Firefly mood pics? I'm terribly jealous.

Oh, I downloaded those a while back from one of the LJ Firefly communities. Came from a user named [livejournal.com profile] stormymouse, you could go check that journal and probably get them.
