TFT shadow problem

[Guest]

I have just bought a new 17" TFT screen. I have used it fine with an IBM T41
laptop (once I upgraded to the latest video drivers) but off my desktop PC
there's a horrible shadow. My graphics card is a GF4 ti4200 and I've
downloaded the latest drivers fron NVIDIA but no change. I even tried using
the cable from the laptop but again no difference. Connected to a 17" CRT the
display is fine. I'm only using 1280x1024 which is the spec for the TFT.
Anyone got any good ideas? Thanks.

You're probably running off the analog port NOT the DVI
port, and you may need to run the auto-adjust for the TFT (see the
manual).

If that doesn't do it, switch video cards to ATi. My experience
with nVidia is that they are far worse performers on the VGA-out
(analog) than ATi cards are.

CRT's are an analog display (vs. digital for TFT) and "mask"
analog deficiencies.
