This baby is a little blurry here on my G5. The video card in this G5 is a GeForce FX 5200 64 meg AGP card.

Im wondering if and when I build the PC if the new PC would be blurry as well ? Its set to 1920x1080 BTW. For the time being the wife has a new TV and I took her 24" Samsung T-240

Any thoughts? I KNOW guys that are running a 37" on the MacPros BTW with no issues

Is that a 37" Wow - i run the 32" as my video monitor (series 5 too - I have the series 6 version at home) and it feels bigger. I'm thinking the screen would be a fair distance back from your desk, which I'm not seeing in the photo...???
Anyway. My 32" at home is hooked up to a mac mini, running hdmi out through an adaptor, and at 1920x1080 it looks great. No fuzz. The mac mini (about 6 months old) doesn't have that great graphics... pathetic graphics even. I'm wondering how you have the screen connected?
I'm trying to get hold of the new 27" Dell as my primary display (2580x1680) to see if it works better for me than 2 smaller monitors side by side. Biggest issue then is the height of my video monitor - especially with center speakers in place for 5.1 Ergonomics for this kind of thing are crazy.

(I would like to have weighted keyboard, fader controller, qwerty keyboard, computer monitor, center speaker, and video monitor ALL lined up directly in front of me. I can kinda do it without the center speaker (Focal twin 6) but the speaker messes everything up. I've spent so much money trying to get it right, and just never got there!!!)

Cheers, Brendan.

Yep 37". Its at least 4 feet from me here. DVI to HDMI cable into the TV here. Im guessing its the OLD graphics card in this OLD G5.

As long as it's dvi/hdmi should not be a problem. Maybe it's a setting in the tv. Make at least sure that sharpening is at zero (and probably all other image improvement too)

Update. I gave the 37 to the wife and got a 32 now, MUCHO better. Perfect size IMO the 32
