Somehow I'm seeing some digital artifacts (izzit called that?) at the recommended LCD setting in some small areas. My AGP card is ye old Nvidia FX5200. I just finished overhauling my rig, rid the dust, clean up everything inside to isolate any problems. I'm now wondering if its the card thats not quite up to the job.

Wow.. Congrats on the purchase!

Hmm.. What kind of digital artifacts? Are you referring to bad pixels?

Heheh!..This half century old man here keeping up with younger folks with BIG BIG screens in front of the face.

I can't recall the actual term but its somewhat like bits of electrical noise interference in certain parts of the screen. Its not entirely a serious issue, but its there if looked closely.
My buddy's 20"LG was even worse. It had evenly spaced dots all over. It didn't happen on his previous 19" (non WS) Any explanation?.. card or LCD?.

Try testing the monitor on a different PC just in case!

Yah yah!.. I reckon I'll do that soon. Silly me!.

Besides that, I used a Nokia monitor test utility and it passed everything with flying colors. I believe its not a conclusive or definitive test. Its only on Windows and in its optimum display resolution that will picture defects show up. I had earlier thought my graphics card when push to its limits can start to act up. For years, at 1024 x 768 32bit windows color on my previous 17" CRT, it was flawless.
