E228wfp not crisp..
Just got a new dimension 9200, 2gig, 256mb x1300 graphics card with the 22 inch E228 monitor.
The picture just isn't as clear as I am used to, I am using DVI, my previous computer was a dimension 4600 with a 2005wfp I tried connecting the 2005fpw to the new computer and the result was about the same, not bad just not real sharp as I am used too.
There is no vista driver for the 2005fpw, so that may be contributing to the problem.
Is the just a result of the economy 22 inch display?

ClearType I guess in turned on, the dpi is set to 96 dpi, and you have it set at its native resolutions correct ? Cable is firmly attached at all ends ? Tried the reset button ?
- Push Auto Adjust button.
- Adjust Phase and Clock controls via OSD.
- Eliminate video extension cables.
- Perform monitor reset.

Control Panel-->Display-->Settings tab-->Advanced-->General tab. Under "DPI setting", you should see a dropdown box that reads "Normal size (96 DPI)". The other options are "Large size (120 DPI)" and "Custom setting...".
EDIT: Shoot! It appears as if you're running Vista and the above refers to XP Pro. Sorry but I don't know whether or not they're the same in Vista.

2005FPW
pixel pitch = 0.258 mm
E228WFP
pixel pitch = 0.282 mm
This may not be the only cause, but would be a contributing factor.

I had the same situation with the E207 display. Returned it after tech support could not assist me. The worst was a white halo / shadow arount black text on a light background. I have seen some nice TN panels - this was not one of them. I have upgraded to the 2007WFP (LG, S-IPS) much better image quality.

When you say its not showing a very good picture, are you talking about in games using vista or in general use ? Vista and some games need a patch or fix or just out of luck for the time being.Try another card if possible. Many do not like that card, and worse if it shares ( takes ) some of your main memory as well.568

I am not sure it is a monitor issue, its not that the picture is bad, the best way to describe it is that it look more like an analog connection than a dvi.Some pages look clearer than others, the desktop icons don't have that real crisp look where you can almost see the dots in the text.Thanks.568

Zbob,
If both monitors do not look clear on the Dimension 9200, how can it be a monitor issue?
