A friend is having this problem and wonder if someone playing this etc knows of a solution.

He's updated lastest drivers on his GeForce MX440, however, the display is still fuzzy.

A "fuzzy" display can be caused by either the monitor or video adapter. Drivers should have no effect.

To narrow down cause, swap out monitor or video adapter and see if problem clears. Monitor is most likely cause but I have seen video cards with a "fuzzy" display.

Your display can look fuzzy if you aren't using the optimal resolution for display, the best to use is always the highest possible resolution and refresh rate for the screen (If it isn't autodetected by your OS, check the manual what that is). Another thing which can cause fuzzyness is a bad or too long cable between the grafic adapter and the display.

Change the refresh rate for the video adapter - try to set it to 60MHz- 70-75-80-85 and see - if the problem still exist (BTW is this an LCD or CRT monitor?) the monitor is bad may be.

I was buying my computer in parts and bought a 22" screen before actually got the new motherboard and graphic cards.
I have discovered that the MMX400 is not supporting this type of screen.
The card is 2nd generation Nvidia card and not supporting the new LCD displays on the market now.
The Fussiness has gone once I have connected the new graphic card.
Your friend will need to upgrade his graphic card or switch to a CRT monitor.
He can find a good graphic cards for a good price.
Hope this helps
