    I just got my A8JM and the resolution is set to 1024 x 768 at 120 hz and 32 bit...but it looks kind of blurry and grainy. Is this the right resolution its supposed to be set on considering its a widescreen monitor? Is there anything I'm supposed to change?

    Somehow your screen res got set too low. It's now trying to interpolate into a lower resolution, which is why everything is fuzzy - that's why LCDs should only be run at their native res for the main desktop.

    Here's the fix: you need to set the desktop resolution to 1280x800 (R click on the desktop, Properties); that will make everything perfect and pretty :D . Freq refresh seems a bit off... it should probably be set to 75Hz.

    yeah, this model comes with a recovery cd, it will let you choose a few different item. After reformating and installing, you also have to put the drivers cd to install everything. It will automatically do itself, just follow all the instruction, the recovery will be done.

    Cheers
