Hi guys,
I just got a new PC with a Point Of View GTX280EXO Vga and a Samsung 2232GW 22" widscreen LCD monitor.
I have set it at 1680x1050 res but the problem is I'm noticing a big amount of horizontal tearing!!!
I have the latest Nvidia and monitor drivers installed.
I notice this in games and in Windows, for example when I scroll this forum screen downwards quickly, I notice the tearing on the right and left sides of the text area on the dark area of the background.
Is this normal? I hooked up my old CRT 17" monitor and set it to the highest 1280x1024 res and this does not happen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thankyou.

No actually CRTs hurt my eyes.

LCDs and CRTs are both good, but LCD are much smaller, and higher res. Overall LCD's are much better.

Your problem could be cause by a bad video card though. Plug your monitor into the onboard graphics and see if it still happens.

Do you have a VGA to DVI converter then? (They put DVI's on the mobos now? wth?)

That is indeed the easiest way to check the problem.

enable vertical monitor sync in the NV control panel near the bottom of the 3d graphics settings, its a common issue, the only reasons people disable this is to benchmark their systems,
