    I bought a Samsung 23 inch monitor with resolution of 1920 x 1080. When I hookup the DM4T it looks totally terrible. I have the ATI 5450 with 1GB of RAM. I'm using an HDMI cable.

    How do other people's monitors look and what resolution are you running it at ?

    Thank you.

    Are you sure your outputting the correct resolution? Or is CCC auto-scaling wrong(It does for me sometimes)

    When i ouput at 1920 x 1080 60HZ, I verified it looks really bad. What do you output at ? And what do you mean by auto-scaling ? Where would I check for that setting?

    Thanks

    I replaced the HDMI cable with a regular VGA cable and that resolved the issue.

    In CCC, Desktops & Displays, there's a black arrow on each of the displays. Click it for whichever display your having trouble with, click configure then change your settings
