    Hi, i bought a monitor dual arm so i can turn the 2nd monitor to portrait mode to view musical scores more practically...But the txt is all blurry and hard to look at after a few mins. Of course it works perfect landscape.

    There's doesn't appear to be much documented online.

    It's connected via vga t500 but i haven't tried it with the t420 yet.

    Its a Samsung syncmaster 205bw lcd. Is it too old?

    pls help!!

    Thanks

    I had a Samsung 226BW (several year old TN panel) which I did the same thing with, and had the same results.

    Perhaps there is some sort of 'image refresh' button you can press on your monitor that will adjust the overall picture after image rotation? I do not have my Samsung monitor out now (its packed away) but IIRC if you press 'auto' the monitor will refresh the image.
