I recently had to purchase a new computer. After all set-up and software installation, I entered a photo in a challenge. IT is tanking. I mean, tracking like the worst challenge entry I have ever had. Confused, I look again at my entry on my monitor and it is sharp, clear, in focus. So I sent it to my wife and viewed it on her monitor and it is fuzzy, looks out of focus and basically looks like crap. I assume this is what everyone else is seeing too.
What am I missing in set-up or whatever that would cause this? Any suggestions?
Looking at past entries and other challenge entries, they all look good/the same as before to me.

My first thought is that it's possible that one monitor is not running at it's native resolution. That often causes fuzziness in the display image due to upsampling or downsampling.
If you would like me to have a look at the image in question, PM me and I will skip voting on it if it comes up.

Thanks. That sounds like it could be a cause. We have different sized monitors and hers has been re-sized/adjusted to fit her eyesight. Never thought about its effect on viewing pics I have optimized for a challenge.
I will wait out the challenge and see what happens. I just received a comment that perhaps gives some insight.

| Another thing to check... if the monitor has any built-in sharpening settings, make sure they are turned off. Some monitors have them on by default. |

If your physical screen has a resolution of 1920*1200, then you need to make sure your display is set to '1920*1200' - This effectively means that each pixel in a photo is represented by exactly one physical pixel on the screen.
Now, you could set your display resolution to '1024*768' for example, if you wanted. But what will happen is that windows will attempt to resize the pixels to stretch into your 1920*1200 screen size, causing this fuzziness you're talking about. |
