OK, thanks. My monitor only has a VGA port, but my gfx card has a DVI port... I assume I'd need an adapter and a DVI cable?

Would I need something like this? Or would this work?

Cheers

No point.

Just try a different VGA cable if you have one.

I do remember in the other thread I made, people said there's no point... but I was reading a post on a blog somewhere, saying it depends on different monitors (as to if it's better or not).

I'll try the other VGA cable - if it doesn't clear up the faint line then I'll have to find another option...

There must be a reason for these lines... it's like a 1px shadow behind certain images, it's weird.

can't edit ^

Not got another VG cable damnit. The one I use from my laptop to some big old monitor is integrated into the monitor lol.

I *think* that I've fixed the problem... I decided to mess around with the monitors settings, like the buttons on the actual monitor. There was an option, under manual image ajudst called "Fine Tune". I set it to 100 and now the weird ling thing has gone... I think anyway, I can't see it.

I dunno what the fine tune option does exactly...

mmm maybe not... it makes the line very faint, but it's still there. I think it's the VGA adapter messing with it or something..
