    ok i just saw something on my display HSD173PUW1 which i believe is the standard display for the g73jh-a1 series
    so here is my problem ( if i can tell it like that that annoys me)
    few days ago i noticed the small icons on my system bar (right corner) are not looking so good or maybe it's just me

    p.s while converting to jpeg the attachment went a little softer but still you can see on the skype icon (RESOLUTION 1920 X 1080)
    i know i know i am such a detail person :)
    on my old 15 inches desktop monitor i had better "circle" on skype icon
    SEE THE ATTACHMENT BELOW 100% CROP

    Got a decent camera? Take a pic of the whole screen and it'll give us a better idea.

    that's a screenshot my friend and cropped so you will have idea what i am talking about just look at your icons at your system bar can't you see that some of them are bright and some of them are not so clear (look at skype and tune up utilities)
    compare with other computer and you will see the difference
    here i will upload one more picture 100% cropped and you will see what i am talking about
    the winamp icon is from the taskbar you see the line is not straight....are you blind people lol :)

    That's not a monitor issue, it's how the OS is configured. Try resetting your themes and Windows options how icons are displayed. I bet you did some tweaks.

    Right click desktop, screen resolution, "make text and other items larger or smaller" select 100% instead of the 125% default. Voila all the icons are smooth and right sized, but the texts might be a bit small for your taste.
