1. Hello guys. I've recently (about 1-2 months ago) purchased an HDTV LCD which also serves me as a PC Monitor and I have so many problems! It's LG M237WA, 5ms. Unfortunately, the over-rated W2353V isn't a TV ~ I wanted to have a TV (A TV card is way too expensive for me). When I got the monitor, I was so excited, it was great in every way, the Full HD was awesome, and the colors were fantastic, until I noticed something weird in Videos and Video Games, my screen split into two halves when showing fast moving objects, after a quick search I found out this is called "Screen Tearing". I tried adjusting the HZ, (I think my TV supports maximum 75, when I thought new LCDS are supposed to have maximum 100hz), but nothing solved the problem except Virtual Sync, which cannot be triggered everywhere. Apparently, I have screen tearing everywhere, even on my desktop. I tried checking the "Triple Buffering" at my Graphics Card options, yet it didn't do much. Now, my Graphics Card is a bit old, and it's taking it's time with my 1920x1080 resolution: ATI Radeon 2600 pro HD. Doesn't work quite well; but I can run my favorite games, well, most of them... Is it my monitor, or my graphics card? I really don't know what to do, or which of them to switch, and the small details drive me crazy.

2. I also noticed a turquoise color-changing stuck pixel, tapping on it didn't help. Any ideas?

3. I have bad color schemes, it seems un-natural (you can clearly see the different lines of schemes) . I downloaded HD wallpapers 1920x1080 and most of them don't look good, any ideas?

4. I have two ways of connecting my monitor to my Graphics Card, DVI and VGA (VGA connected to a DVI slot with some sort of converter). After reading some guides I figured that a DVI connection would show better results, yet when connected through DVI and not VGA the picture becomes ugly, not sharp, like it's missing the "Anti-Aliasing" I have with the VGA. My monitor is close to the computer, I don't think it has anything to do with length... Should I just leave it be?

Monitor:

M237wa

PC specs:

Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 2600 pro

tell me anything else you need to know, I don't know what to post except for the Graphics card.

Thank you guys, hope it's not too much. I would appreciate any help, it drives me crazy.

Thanks...

1.  Unfortunately, there is no such option in my Graphics Card...
2.  I already tried that and I also tried JScreenfix yet it didn't work.
3.  My monitor has a lack of adjusting-options, I think I managed to define that in my Graphics Card options though.
4.  My monitor suggests 1920x1080 resolution, and you can switch between AV and DVI mods, nothing works... Does it really really matter?

Thanks again!

The options *are* there. Catalyst Control Centre > 3D > All Settings. You'll find the options listed as "Wait for vertical refresh", set it all to the right, and you could also enable Triple Buffering which as at the bottom.

Actually, I did that a while ago and it didn't help me with the screen tearing in streaming videos or anywhere else... Let me check it again and see if I still have screen tearing in games... Maybe it's just my Graphics Card? It's very old...

Thanks for clearing that out, Atari. I didn't want to cause any more damage with all these programs. BTW, I tried the "Screen Massage", and my monitor made really weird-squishy colors around that area, ofc I tried to turn it off and on while applying strength but it didn't seem to help... I have warranty on it but they won't give me a new one for one stuck pixel. I guess there ain't other way of fixing it without a risk of damaging the monitor... I can't help but notice the small details...
