Just picked up a Samsung 2370HD, switching from a CRT, and really noticed the image is not as sharp. It's particularly noticeable on text, there's almost a coloured shadow around each line.
The oddity is that it is sharp, or at least a lot sharper, in XP than it is in W7 Professional.
Originally figured it was a difference in drivers, but installed the monitor driver in both OSes and updated the video card driver to 296.10 -- and no change. Both are set to 1920x1080 at 60Hz (native). Far as I can tell both are using the same settings in the Nvidia control panel.
You can see the difference clearly when blown up. The top is W7, the bottow is XP.
Windows 7
Windows XP
Any ideas?
