New LED Screen

[Elemental]

So today I upgraded from a 19" LCD (1440x900) screen to a 22" Acer LED screen to get that sweet crispy 1920x1080.

 

What I wasn't expecting is the immense brightness increase.

I'm not even sure it's really brightness, but the whites are EXTREMELY MOTHERFUCKING white, like, eye-searing / headache-inducing white.

 

I've tried messing with the brightness of the screen, which does lesser the effect, but the quality suffers from this alot.

This might just be a case of getting used to it, but it does seem way too bright.

 

 

With this upgrade also came an upgrade of using a DVI cable to an HDMI cable.

Since then, I've noticed in CS:GO that my screen seems to be a bit "shocky"

 

 

Any of this familiar with people that underwent the same upgrade?

Elaborate on the phrase "shocky"

would also be helpful to know what kind of gpu you have and if your drivers are updated.

It's hard to explain, heck, it might just be me having to get used to the new screen, but I noticed (especially when I jumped) kind of a shocky image, not sure how else to explain it

I think I've had this issue before, Try googling along the lines off 'HDMI 1080p screen issues' or something
