Title: laptop display text "rippling"
Post by: special.ed711 on May 08, 2011, 08:05:14 PM

Hello, CH
I have a bit of a problem. It's livable, but a minor nuisance.
I installed windows 7 32-bit on my Acer Aspire 5004WLMi, and everything works totally smoothly except for one thing: There are rippples of distortion going horizontally cross my monitor. I've attached an example to show you what I mean.

AMD Turion64 ML34 (1MB L2 Cache, 1.8 GHz)
15.4" WXGA Acer CrystalBrite TFT LCD Display
1GB DDR
Integrated Graphics
The top "example" is the messed up one, as compared to normal, and the jagged spots on the line also display the problem

Looks like you're using a resolution that isn't the native resolution of your screen. Set your screen resolution to 1280 x 800 and see if that clears it up.
