I can't even get any results on Google for the XL2280HD.
I refuse to believe it exists.
I had this problem too. Cant really remember how i fixed it. Just fuck about with the resolution and it will be fixed.
I always remember HDMI looking like shit on my Dad's PC, he got fed up and just used VGA
[QUOTE=SupahVee;28341796]Too bad I just fixed it and it works perfectly at 1080p. It had something to do with literally changing the fucking name in the HDMI tools menu. I wasn't wasting your time after all, asshole. :([/QUOTE]
It isnt a FULL HD 1080p monitor! So now you are just shrinking your image to fit a smaller screen which probably looks and runs like crap.
Its a 1680*1050 monitor you got.
(HDMI == DVI) > VGA
My monitor can have both a DVI and a VGA plugged into it. Even when I have both plugged into my computer (in the same card too, somehow) and have it set to duplicate, I have to complain that the VGA looks blurrier than the DVI. Try it - you WILL notice the difference.
Fortunately for me it wasn't "OMG I'M LOOKING AT IT THROUGH FUCKING FROSTED GLASS WTF", so I could stick foobar2000 or whatever on VGA while I'm doing something else on the DVI
This happened to me before. If you use VGA I recommend that you turn down your refresh rate.
AUTO-Button on monitor perhaps?

I think the blurriness of VGA depends on the monitor. They're identical on my dell monitor (and it's a really good monitor), but VGA looks like shit on my LG (which is crappy and has a lower resolution too).

This. It depends on the monitor. On my Dell S2209W VGA and DVI are identacle.
Side question : Will using HDMI instead of VGA make any difference? It seemed to just look like shit when I last tried it.

VGA is analog and HDMI is digital, HDMI will look much better.

did you even read the thread
[QUOTE=Badal;28366713]VGA is analog and HDMI is digital, HDMI will look much better.[/QUOTE]
"much" being relative to how shit the monitor is

Goddamn it is a 1920x1080 monitor. It looks perfect. It works perfectly. It had something to do with the monitor settings. The picture is 1080p and it is crystal clear. Move along
