Title: New Monitor shows half pixels (Help?)
Post by: Akira on January 31, 2006, 01:19:57 am

I just got a new PC the other day. It runs everything pretty sweet except whenever i draw a line and zoom in on it, it shows icky half pixels above and below the line. Also it messes with dither and makes it look completely outta whack. Monitor is one of those flat panel jobs. It shows real good colour its just the half pixels that have me worried.
Anyone know a fix? increase res? decrease res? buy a new monitor?

switch your resolution to match your screen properly.  i had the same problem, but its easily fixed

@indigo: thanks man, just re-checked the box and saw that the res was meant to be at 1280x1024... which seems huge after coming from my old 800x600.

I'm curious --
is the display relatively taller on a flat panel versus a CRT?
1280x1024 has an aspect ratio of 5:4 ( 5 *256 == 1280, 4 * 256 == 1024).
On a CRT, that means the pixels will be taller than they are wide.
Is your flatpanel display actually 5:4 in aspect ratio, so that the pixels are still square?

My pixels seem square. If anything the are wider then they are tall. I could measure the screen if you really want to get to the bottom of it.
