Vga/monitor Problems

Just get use to resizing the screen for widescreen mode. A lot of games only fill 3/5th the screen in normal mode anyway, pretty lousy.

It sounds like a moire problem. I'm not the guy to talk to about how to fix it, unless your monitor's setting has the option.
How does the picture look on your monitor other than the rings? Color, contrast, etc.

If you don't have a moire setting, resize the screen in different ways and see if that helps.

Or buy a new monitor. That thing is ancient mate. It's so old the model number's written in roman numerals. Anyway, yeah, grab yourself a copy of Displaymate for Windows (it's old but invaluable) and calibrate that thing on your PC to get the most out of it.


yeah good idea.

what i like the most about this monitor is its reccomended warm-up time: 30mins.

but yeah, it most likely needs to be adjusted
