I just got a brand new iiyama 22 inch CRT monitor.
I'm currently having some problems though.
First of all I have installed the monitor drivers yet not even the recommended resolution is available. I checked the inf and sure enough it's basically empty apart from configuring max res)
Now problem 2: the recommended res is 1800x1440 @ 94 Hz with +/+ polarity. So first of all that isn't even available.
So I added it myself, and it works ok at 85 Hz. But if I go beyond 90 Hz it starts cropping the bordsers of the screen (not configurable).
Another problem: all resolutions are set to +/- polarity instead of +/+ even though the inf says +/+ and is installed properly. I'm guessing Forceware doesn't behave properly so I tried fooling around with which timings it should use but that didn't work either.
And now for the most annoying problem:
Whenever I go over 1600x1200 @ 100 Hz the image starts to get fuzzy.
Which is pretty bad since 1600x1200 is lower than the recommended resolution.
1800x1440 looks pretty ok, but 2048x1536 @ 85 Hz which is the max resolution is fuzzy AND I get ghosting.
The cable I use came with the monitor and looks high quality. It's very short, it's thick and very properly shielded plus has gold plated connectors of course.
Now to what I think the cause might be:
I have a 6800 Ultra with only DVI outputs so I have to use a DVI-VGA adapter.
Does anyone have more in depth knowledge on how that might affect high res output?
The adapter itself looks pretty high q and was fairly expensive (about 20 bucks). I haven'ät really found any high end adapters so I don't think I can shop my way to a better image quality per se.
The real kicker is that other people using 2048x1536 on CRTs on 6800 with DVI-VGA get a very crisp image.
As a sort of last resort I tried eliminating the extra connection by buying a high q DVI-A to VGA cable (ie DVI-VGA adapter "within" the cable) but that just turned my image all purple for some reason and besides it still didn't look sharp at high res.
So, any ideas?
Sorry for the ultra long post.
