Okay folks, just got a new LCD. I'm getting a considerable amount of shimmering. I'm using the DVI connection. I have it at 2x AA. Not sure what else to tell you.
Oh, the Resolution is at 1440 x 900 and it's a 24 inch display.
Sure could use some help. This is my first Flat panel. It's an Acer.
-
That's not normal. Double check your Hz settings and change your resolutions around.
-
Oops, didn't realize it came with drivers. Installed the drivers and it seems much better. Had 7 kills against shimmering planes earlier. :rofl
Wow though, what a huge difference in game play. I think my old CRT has about had it. It's flickering.

shimmering SUCKS!!!I know,I deal with it everytime I log in... :furious

Just got a new 19.1" WS a few days ago myself but luckily I didn't have that problem, not even sure what you mean by "shimmering". Still use my old 17" CRT for a secondary monitor though haha.
-
I took a quick test flight after loading the drivers and the shimmering is gone. I think I have a few things to learn about this monitor. It seems you can run 2 different connections from it at the same time. Anyone done this?
Falcon, update your drivers for your monitor. My first thought when I saw all the shimmering was "So this is what Falcon was talking about".
-
Two connections at the same time? Sounds pointless. I know some monitors (like mine) have both VGA and DVI hook-ups on the back but you should only have to use one or the other, I suggest the DVI if possible.

Getback you don't mention the kind of vid card you're using. If it's an Geforce, try these settings:

My personal take on the shimmering is it being the result of a 24" monitor producing too much detail. You'll get used to it but try those settings.

You stole my image! ;)

I am working on a poem called Ode to clockers based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" Thus quote the Raven Nevermore.

#1 I'm going to have to quit thinking one solution fits all problems. Otherwise it is known as the Hammer Theory. Back in the day the Hammer was the all purpose tool!
Howsoever, have you updated your drivers?

It's a ATI Radeon HD 3850. However some of those settings still apply. What does triple filtering do?

You stole my image! ;)
I didn't steal it...I simply borrowed and reposted it :D If it's any consolation, it improved my overall graphics from a visual/shimmering standpoint.

I know that one.
When I bought my first house a friend of mine and I were installing a dishwasher and an over-the-range microwave. We got the dishwasher done easily in what seemed like minutes, then came the microwave. We aligned and mounted the brackets and made sure the exterior exhaust for the range fan lined up and then we had a h@ll of a time hoisting it into place and securing it. I mean we were having trouble with this thing.
We finally got it done and I backed away and it was crooked! Being somewhat of a perfectionist and being my new house that just wasn't going to do but my friend had other ideas. So, while we were arguing, another friend walked in, assesed the situation, walked over to the microwave with a hammer and gave it two whacks on the bottom left side. Fixed! It was perfect.

Just playing with you. :D
Glad it helped you. :aok

I sure wished that somebody with an ATI 3800 series would post something like that Max.
All the Best...

Okay I think it is just like baldegle said, I'm starting to get use to the new monitor. I have to tell you it sure makes you bad guys look big and scary and of course nice large targets. :D At one point my Hit% was over 9%. Which is very good for me. I think it's slightly less than 8% now. Back in the day it use to be 4 or 5%.
