DL-165 @ 1920x1080 blurry on 24"

Normally I would suspect this would be due to Optimse for Video, but you have already checked this. Is the screen always blurry or is it just when something changes, and then it corrects itself?

Thanks

It's always blurry.

I should say by blurry I don't mean that it's horribly unreadable, just that crisp edges and text is not as sharp as when the same monitor is plugged into the DisplayPort of the Quadro 2000M. That said, as it is I wouldn't use it as my primary monitor because I'm pretty sure it'd screw up my eyes over time

Should I expect the same output quality from the DisplayLink or is there usually some noticeable quality difference?

Oh! I just tested with a Dell 24" and it's super clear. I guess there is some issue with the LG monitor (or some setting I missed in its config).

Case closed.

If it is connected over VGA, it may need the "auto adjust" button pressing to resync it. As its blurry all the time, I don't think its anything to do with DisplayLink compression or the chip. I think its happening after the video out, to the monitor.

Yeah I think you're right - the blurriness is something to do with the LG monitor not liking 1920x1080. It's native res is 1920x1200, but even telling it to not-stretch and retain original 1:1 pixel mapping it's still blurry. It's ok though, I've ordered a Dell to use with the DL-165.

Thanks for your help in any case!
