It wasn't my LCD after all. It was my stupid computer..

I was about to sell the LCD to get a better one thinking that my model was horrible (because it was cheap) until i tested it on my brother's computer (who uses the same monitor). It looked beautiful , sharp and crisp. This means something is wrong with my computer NOT my LCD.

So what could the problem be? the driver's are properly installed (as far as i'm concerned). How can i trace the problem? i want to check whether it's the settings ; drivers or graphics card's software or even the graphics card itself.

You don't say what operating system or video card you are using. Perhaps adding a posting with these in would enable some more specific replies to your problem?

From the limited description you have supplied, I would suspect that the most likely setting to need changing would be the refresh frequencies. If you can compare settings with those on your brother's machine, this might lead you directly to the cause.

One thing you did not mention, is the type of video card your brother has. Relatively speaking, the Radeon 7000/VE is a low-end card by today's standards. Additionaly, at least according to the Radeon site, that card only has a 15-pin VGA output which suggests you are using a VGA-DVI adapter. If so, it will degrade the quality of your display.
