Blurry display at high refresh rates

[Mike B]

The higher i set my refresh rate, the blurrier the display and text becomes.
60hz is very sharp, but of course it isn't as comfortable to view for a
period of time. 75 hz gets a bit blurry, and 85 hz is even worse. Is there a
common cause for this, and a solution?

Also, i notice that the middle of the screen is more blurry then the rest of
the screen at those higher refresh rates.

SHitty monitor...get a new one hehe. Try degausing the screen.

Does your monitor support those refresh rates and the screen size you have it set at? Is your monitor described properly in
'display properties'?

 

[JAD]

also have you messed with font and icon sizes?

You need a monitor with a higher bandwidth. What you are describing is
typical behavior when you approach the performance limit of the monitor.

This is a monitor problem. Try using a refresh rate of 70 or 72.

Hi Mike,

Are you using a long Vidoe cable or a KVM switch ? These will degrade you
image quality.
