    Hello everyone!

    Hmmm I am having a bit of a problem with my new Samsung P210 laptop (graph card X4500): I have connected an external 20" (resolution 1680x1050) to the VGA port and it looks blurry even if running at its native resolution. I run Windows XP by the way. My previous laptop ran Windows Vista with a Nvidia 8400 and this same external monitor looked crispy and perfect.

    What might be the problem? Is it a problem of Windows XP, my new laptop's graph card, configuration or what?

    Thank you !

    I'm guessing you're having HDCP issues since VGA isn't supported.
