monitor fuzzy

Otacon859 · 06-21-2009, 03:19 AM

I was given a hp flat screen. Looks fairly new. I plugged it up and everything works well. But whenever i go onto you tube and i click to enlarge the video the picture is really off and fuzzy. I dont know what could cause this. I have looked threw all of the menu listings on the screen and nothing seems to fix it. i eventually just restored factory settings and nothing still works. Please help me if you can many thanks.

Model number of the monitor? If the HP came with a PC it's probably not a top of the line model.

I don't think it is top of the line model but it only goes fuzzy whenever I enlarge a video. It does not act strange any other time but then. When it does act strange its like lines or something like a barcode, like some lines are fat and then skinny and etc. the number is HPw1907.

what are you running
video card
cpu
m/board
ram
power supply
brand
wattage

check the listings in the bios for voltages and temperatures and post them

That monitor is pretty good so your problem is probably elsewhere.

win xp
integrated video chip set
amd athlon 2.10GHZ
1.43 GB of ram
Compaq
250W
like i said the monitor acts strange whenever i go to full screen in a video. So if anything it would be the settings on the screen because the old monitor i had before this one didn't do that and that was like two weeks ago. Even though my video chip set inst all that great.
