Specs:

Monster Ultra 800 HDMI Cable
Viewsonic 2835M (1920x1200 max resolution)
Nvidia 8400M GT 256MB Dedicated / 1GB shared
Sony Vaio Laptop VGN-FZ290
Vista Ultimate x64

Nvidia driver (laptopvideo2go.com): 7.15.11.6369

Problem:

When using HDMI connection instead of VGA, the font quality is blurred and distorted. I tried at least 4 different brand new hdmi cables and know for sure it is not the cable NOR the laptop NOR the monitor itself. It is a setting somewhere along the line. I've tried this on 2 laptops, 2 monitors (same brand/model), all same issue.



I set resolution to 1900x1200 and tried 1900x1080 (both 32bit). No normal quality at all. VGA is fine, but I prefer hdmi for higher quality - at least once I get it fixed. I tried 59hz and 60hz, same problem still.

What could be the cause here?

Crazy part is, screen shot shows font quality font just fine. But its not at all. I also set monitor input to hdmi as well.

Of course I did! I mentioned that, I messed with resolution, hz setting for example

What do you mean by AA settings? What manual are you referring to? The monitor came with a quick start guide with no page numbers and about 2 pages per language included.

Yes, I actually did take the time out. Have you considered I might have? It seems you assume I have not. I came here posting my issue for a reason didn't I? I provided as much info as possible, haven't I?
