Just bought a new laptop and all JPEGS and flash content appear jagged and grainy, any idea why?

poor development?
does this look grainy?

No that doesn't but google logo is... thought it might be something to do with IE but same in Firefox also - maybe to do with resolution settings? Running 1680 x 1050?

is that the "native' resolution?

whats the native resolution for your monitor?
on lcds it's best to leave them at native as pixelation becomes a problem

Dell Inspiron 6000, 15.4 inch widescreen. max res 1680 x 1050

nice machine. that is what I have. what kind of video card are you using? I have ATI Radeon X300 and have the latest Omega Ati drivers (www.omegadrivers.net).
Also, my max resolution is only 1280 by 800.

I think 1680 x 1050 IS the native, so don't know why this is...[groan]

I would lower it to see if there is any difference...

try this:
rt click desktop> properties>settings tab>advanced>general tab>DPI setting:>make sure this is set to "normal size (96 dpi)"
had a similar problem w/ my laptop from dell.

I had the same problem with a Dell that came set at 120DPI... switching to 96DPI fixed it (Why Microsoft chooses to mess with DPI settings on a screen baffles me... If I'm not printing, l I dont want to know about 'inches')
