Bought my first LCD - Having serious problems

Hello all

I've recently bought my first LCD monitor, and I'm having a lot of problems with it.

The screen blurs (not so much blurs, but "wipes" if you get what I'm saying) at the slightest sort of movement, and scrolling up or down is really irritating. Even my screensaver looks like the computer is seriously lagging when it plays.

The other problem is that since I've hooked up the monitor, I've been unable to watch DVDs using programs such as powerDVD, as they say the display is unsupported. Games also don't work, I get errors saying that 3D was undetected.

I can't say what the exact specs of the monitor are, but the following link is the the auction I bought it from -
eBay.co.uk: L17CX 17" TFT Monitor (Samsung OEM) (item 230011274955 end time 27-Jul-06 19:53:33 BST)

If anybody can help, it'd be much appreciated.
thanks.
 
Hi there, what video card are you using???

Have you tried changing the Screen Refresh Rate??
Go to:
Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced>Monitor
 
I'm using an ATI readon 9200 - everything worked fine before the changover

As for the refresh rate, I tried changing it, but it made no difference. at the moment it's on 75hz (highest)
 
Nope, no good. I'm still getting the same problem. What's more, changing the refresh rate is causing error-report messages to put up from my graphics card driver.... At this rate I expect I'll be selling this and getting a decent CRT...
