Asus VH236H Blurry text

[otakubakaa]

Hi, i recently bought an Asus 23 inch monitor, and im using HDMI as the video source. The text is blurry and the entire desktop doesnt cover the entire 23 inch of the monitor, its like its centered in the monitor and the rest is just black. Anyone know how i can fix this? The video card i have is a sapphire 4850HD

Have you got the screen configured correctly? As in, did you:
1 Start
2 Control Panel
3 Display
4 Display Options
5 Adjust to the correct size?

yes i did, i tried everything, went into my ati catalyst, checked that, monitor settings, everything, now im on DVI and image is perfect, but i wonder why HDMI doesnt perform the same....

Also just a random question, but the video quality of DVI is the same as HDMI? As in it can display full 1080p as well?

DVI can handle 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, which is higher bandwidth than 1920x1080 @ 60Hz required for 1080p HD. (Proper term is single-link DVI.)

DVI-D (dual-link DVI) can support 3840 x 2400 @ 60Hz.

Most common use of dual-link DVI atm is Apple 30" Cinema Display which is 2560x1600 pixels (and is gorgeous).

HDMI has maximum pixel clock of 165MHz, which is pretty similar to single-link DVI.

lol kinda confusing, so at 1920 x 1080 dvi and hdmi are the same, thats where im getting at, but above that dual link dvi is better?
