Hi, I recently got a DVI cable since both my monitor (samsing flatscreen thingy.. syncmaster 730bf) and gfx card (geforce 6800LE) supported it.

Problem is, after plugging it in my qw is all blurry. You can still make out everything on the screen but the edges are all smudged and its generally not enjoyable. Anyone know what's up, or what I can do about it? The blurriness gets better the higher i crank the resolution (640*480 SW looks just fine).

You should always use the native resolution with TFT monitors. All other resolutions will look like shit because they are interpolated.

But that's the thing, it worked just fine when using an analog cable. There were no problems at all. It's when I plugged in the DVI things went shitty. How could that fuck it up?
