Hi,
I have built a PC for the first time today. It wasn't too bad; pretty much straightforward. As I decided to keep using my old 15" inch monitor for the time being, I hooked up the new PC with the old monitor (IBM L150). Unexpectedly, the image quality was far from being satisfactory. Text, pictures, and movie clips appeared to be even better with the old computer (with Geforce 3 Ti 500). Particularly, the movie image was so not clear nor vivid and text was not sharp at all, even causing me some headache. I can't figure that out. Is the old 15" monitor simply too outdated to be compatible with 8600GT? If I go with 19 or 20 inch monitor, then can I have much better image quality?
