[QUOTE="Ex_PC_Puke, post: 108405"] Well I agree and disagree --- its definetly a analog to digital conversion - and as I mentioned in previous posts depending on the quality of the LCD panel it will may have "sweet spots" (or native resolution(s) ) and if you deviate from those then text AND only text will be blurred or chopped or fragmented. I bought a brand new Samsung SyncMaster 730b 17" flat panel when I bought the mini. For 2 weeks I had to run it through the DVI to VGA converter from Apple - no problem - display very crisp (at least as good as a monitor) -- switched to DVI and its just a tad crisper. Sorry to hear your having problems --- have you worked thru all the combinations of refresh and resolution ?? I would think that any newer monitor should easily handle 640x480 thru 1024x768 -- as should any decent quality LCD dicplay But here again I'll just warn you that a lot of the older panels are being dumped at very low prices and offer low performance - BUT even a good panel put at wrong resolution / refresh will look like crap. I was shown a nice 19" AOC panel that looked like crap on the XP desktop (text was fragmented / chopped) but looked ok when a jpeg was displayed. Hope you can get things worked out - if you live in decent sized city you should be able to go "buy" a nice 17" monitor or LCD - take it home try it - then return it ( places like Best Buy etc. have a easy return policy) [/QUOTE]
