Hello! I posted on here last week after ordering the Titan Sabre with the Viewsonic 22" Monitor, regarding which OS to get with it?
Well, I've now had this machine for a few days along with Vista x64 and have to say I absolutely love everything about it. Thank you OverClockers! And thanks to you guys who gave some helpful advice.
Obviously I couldn't possibly have posted this without a question of some kind - it's quite trivial really...
Obviously the Titan Sabre comes with the ATI 4890 HD, and the monitor I got was the Viewsonic HD 22"... So there are 3 options for connecting - DVI to DVI, DVI to D-Sub, or DVI to HDMI.
I've been using DVI to D-Sub, which is fine, but was intrigued about the HDMI port on the monitor, so yesterday I bought a DVI to HDMI cable.
Loaded up the computer, and was surprised to discover the quality is NOT as good as DVI to D-Sub? The image itself is smaller - it doesn't fit the entire screen, and the quality is not as good either - it appears slightly washed out/not as sharp...
Am I doing something wrong? Or is the monitor itself just not that great on the HD front?
I tried messing around with settings on the Catalyst Control Center but to no avail... So I'm back to DVI to D-Sub.
Again it's quite trivial really, but I'm curious... Am I viewing my computer in HD using DVI to D-Sub?!

DVI should give a better image, you could try swapping the cables then uninstall the drivers and install new drivers and allow it to autodetect the optimum resolution, hopefully this will fix the issue
