unsharp graphics/text in games

[fc0712]

Hey LinusTechTips forums

 

I have a question

 

I have an Asus VE248H monitor and my gaming pc specs are i5 3570k and one windforce 3x gtx 680

 

The problem is that i feel that the image in games is not as sharp and the colors seems wrong and often the text is not as sharp as when i see gameplays on youtube

 

so can anyone answer me if it is some settings or if it is my graphics card or my monitor.

 

Thanks

 

keep in mind i primarily watch youtube videos on a 13 inch macbook pro 1280 x 800 and bumps up the video to 1080p

Your resolution might not be set right.

no it is set to 1920 x 1080

Try resetting your GPU's driver profile.

Make sure that your game is at 1920x1080. Also make sure that you have DVI or DisplayPort (if your monitor has it), not VGA or HDMI.

Colors will be off, that is normal. If you have a recent MacBook Pro, it uses an IPS panel, while your monitor is an TN panel.
