1080p on 23 inch monitor but text is blurry

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

Dear raspberry pi gurus, recently I have just purchased a spanking new raspberry pi. I am tried to set the resolution to full hd which is 1080p 60 Hz. The config.txt that I had enabled was:

hdmi_drive = 2

hdmi_group = 1

hdmi_mode = 16 (1080p 60Hz)

hdmi_boost = 4

disable_overscan = 1

The monitor that I am using is 23 inch Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM. The pi is connected via HDMI to VGA converter (PI-VIEW) sold by element14. I have a steady 5V 1 amp PSU and I don't believe that the PSU is problematic.

 

I did the /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s and it shows that my current resolution is 1920x1080, progressive. The only issue that I had is that the texts are blurry. Its kinda hard to read them, and is there any idea on how to make them sharp? I mean when I connect my PC via VGA mode, it still looks sharp on 1920x1080p. Please advice thank you

    Since the monitor has DVI, it would likely work better with HDMI to DVI cable (does not matter if they call it DVI to HDMI).  No "converter" is needed for that because the digital video signal for HDMI and DVI is the same (VGA is analog which is why it needs digital to analog converter).
