Onboard Graphics Cards… poor show

It has come to my attention that onboard graphics don’t do justice when using them with a flat screen/TFT.. I remember about this time last year I purchased a shuttle with onboard graphics and the display on a monitor was fine, but on a TFT looked blurred no matter how much you played around with the setting.

Last month I purchased all the gear to built a new Shuttle system for my GF, I brought all good stuff apart from a shuttle with onboard Geforce4MX!.. I thought this would be fine as she would not be playing any games, but I had the same issue with slightly blurred display… and this was on a brand new 17” LG TFT! So after lots of playing around and tweaking I opted to install my old radeon 9200… as soon as I had installed the drivers the display became as shape as anything! Crystal clear!

So my point is… is there a known issue with onboard graphics and TFT’? Because I think there is one!

Nope, i thought you had posted this before? The Geforce 4 MX 440 series of onboard graphics doesn't give a very good output resulting in the blurry image. It happens on CRT's as well as TFT's and i've heard people say how et la poo the MX440 series is.

yeah i did have a thread going, but i just put the radeon in and thought i would post this, i did not notice any blur with a normal monitor though, that's what made me think it's a TFT issue

Currently on my missus' nForce2 Shuttle. I placed a GF4 MX440 to take the load off the ram, and TBH I don't find and difference between using the normal GF4 MX440 or the onboard GFX at all on her 17" TFT.

that's crazy it can't be just me, my mate who has built at least a 1000 pc's for his job had a look aswell... and we could not get it sharp! until we stuck the rad9200 in! weird!
