Do you find the text (character) is blurry or not clear around the character ? Is there any difference between HDMI and DVI connection for this issue?

Yep. It's like a halo around the characters, especially on grey or blue background. No difference between vga / dvi / display port (have not tried hdmi)

Wish I could be of help, but no luck here. Since HDMI has been available, I've made several attempts to multi-task with this technology, unsuccessfully. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons for the initial development was to put in place safeguards on content to prevent "pirating" hi-def, with the pressures of the movie studios and replaced component connections. Wish mine were a little heavier, then it'd make a good paper weight. But being no expert, it might seem that for less that 5 bucks, you might have better luck.

Pixelation = artefacts?Latest Update installed on TV, sorce connected via HDMI and watching either in 'Professional' or 'THX' Mode I cannot recongnize any artefacts. Do you see 'pixelation' only when watching TV channels via cable box? How is the picture when watching BluRays or DVDs?

I am sorry to tell you that I made the same mistake. All you can do is mirror the DVI input. One thing I am working on though is creating aa custom driver that will double the virtual width of the monitor resolution while still maintaining the same height. I have gotten close once but the aspect ratio for the width doubled as well. Resulting in watching movies with a bunch of short fat people. My work around for now is to use the vga jack out of my laptop for one 23" monitor and an HDMI to DVI-D adapter and DVI-D cable to my other 23" monitor. This gives me 3 hi-res displays to use. Not the most elegant solution but it works. If you find an answer I would love to here it. If I get my custom double wide driver to work I will be happy to share. Cheers, CJ. Cjchumbley@computer.org

I have found that the display port gives the greatest picture in my experience so far (about 3 months). I have tested all 3, albeit the dvi was coming from hdmi port on my computer.

Just a note to anyone using their TV as a second monitor, if your REGULAR monitor is an LCD also and you use Windows you can't have a second ClearType setting for the other monitor. Watching movies etc is fine, but if you use a different style LCD TV the text may appear blurry. It's not a bad connection, just a windows thing :P I wasted a LOT of money connecting my Panasonic TV with all types of different cables before realizing this. Games, images, movies etc don't suffer, just text.

Very interested in your method. I found that aspect ratio for original resolution is 4:3, which means that it will distort your image when the screen is 16:9. Do you experience the same problem when you use DVI to HDMI cable.

You could always buy the DVI to HDMI connector I did and works great! only about 6 dollars if you really want the monitor :)

Are you using the cable that came with the monitor? I had some issues getting mine setup, but it was related to the cable I was using. You may want to try using a different cable rated for the high resolution that the monitor offers.

there are no stupid questions...except for this one, haha no I'm kidding. It is 1080 and it has an HDMI input, but to be honest I never figured out the HDMI, it looked greenish, so it was missing a color palate, I have it on a regular DVI to my Mac, I completely recommend it, I had another monitor that was supposed to be better and ended up return it, so far it's been a great monitor.Hope this helps.

No. Sounds like a problem with your video card or HDMI cable. First try using a "high speed" shielded HDMI cable, like the original that came with the monitor.

I didn't have this issue, and I own two of the monitors. It may be defective, and I would also wonder which model you have (there are some S230HL models that have two DVI ports, some with two HDMI ports) as some were manufactured at earlier points in time. Personally, I'd return it and see if it was just a fluke.

This isn't caused by the monitor, it is caused by video drivers.I have an ATI card that did the same thing to it. Updating to the latest Catalyst drivers and setting the overdrive to 0% got rid of the letterboxing over HDMI. Everything looks awesome now!

I have NO clue??? mine is crystal clear.......and it is a flat screen.....either works or it doesn't.....my advice.....swap it for another.....and make sure you have a good power supply....

no i ran across the same problem and forgot that dvi does not carry sound, only hdmi does. so you would have to find another alternative or use a separate cable for the sound

Not 100% sure, but it might be because there are different kinds of DVI. This worked well for me with a DVI-D connection, but DVI-A and DVI-I also both exist. That's just my guess though.

No, not using HDMI. I'm hooked up with a conventional multipin connector from the comp's vidio output, and running at 1280 X 768 on the computer, which results in a very nice full screen PC image on the TV/monitor as well as an acceptable fullscreen TV image (I switch back and forth between the PC and cable frequently). By "acceptable", I mean the TV image is slightly laterally distorted at full screen, but is is not annoying to me.
