Fuzzy pictures Thanks GAVIN. well I think my system is just very old. The system you recommended was not compatable. A new monitor may do the trick you say.

If your Panasonic TX-36PF10 is 10 years old, it probably is time to think about replacing it.

I'm having the same problem! Its been recommended on a number of websites to restore the factory settings and that might do the trick. You need to go to home, settings, main settings and select initialize to restore what the camera came with - that what I'm going to try anyway! Good luck!

Most likely your video card will not support that kind of resolution through that monitor. I did not see where you mentioned the card or not, but it takes a good graphics card to push that kind of resolution.

it could be the cheapness or your picture is going out

This monitor albiet old can do a whooping 1800 x 1440 resolution. I don't think that the monitor is your problem at this point but your Video card. What type of video card do you have in your system and are the drivers correctly installed for them. You can find the drivers for the monitor at http://tom.viewsonic.com/support/drivers/drivers.cfm?category=3&formName=monitor

are these red fuzzy colors actually on photos or just on lcd i think u r gettin them on photos also if thats the case ur CCD is gettin faulty u cant help it changing the CCD is not recommended bcoz it will cost u like new camera u can buy a new one i think

I also have an Asrock motherboard (M266A) and have the AL2216W. The image and text is also fuzzy. I did improve it a by by unplugging/replugging all of the connectors on the back of the computer. I believe my mouse had a somewhat loose connection and this was causing interference. I can actually create interference on screen by moving my mouse up and down.
These Acer monitors seem to be very sensitive. I also tried this monitor on a old Desktop with Win98 and another new laptop with XP and it looks good on those computers, but not on my Asrock based system.

From what you describe, I'd suspect the Graphics processor, or even the motherboard as a source of the problem if the monitor works on a different system normally (Best way to check the monitor is a known good video source)

If it is the system, and the system is 8 years old, I'd recommend replacing the system rather than attempting to fix it. Trying to fix GOOD parts for an obsolete system is difficult at bst and oftern can be expensive. Often you can find a low end NEW system (One that is like 20 times faster than the failing system) for less than $300

It could be that the resolution settings that you had with the old monitor are not compatible with the new monitor. Try hooking up your old monitor and either lowering or highering the resolution and see if that corrects the problem. Can you give me the model number off the new monitor so I can further look into the compatibility of the video card and the monitor.

Dear nicktsa

 

You need to put either new dispaly card or AGP card in dell pc (it supports) to get proper resolutaion of monitor

 

thanks
