Help!
I recently purchased a new Dell laptop computer, the 8160.  I am not able to create a sharp image on the screen, I have tried to change all the appearance settings and can still not get a good picture.  While on the Internet the screen appears blotchy and unclear.  I have posted the details about by new computer.  Anyones help would be appreciated.

What screen resolution do you have it set at right now?
Right click an empty spot on the desktop
Left click Properties
Click the Settings tab

Are you running off the battery right now or are you plugged in?
Just throwing things at ya right now

Your Dell probably has an LCD screen
I think it should look good at 1024x768

Set on multi-monitor NVIDIA
Res. 1680-1050 pix
It is running on battery but I checked that and is the same!
I had an 1100 by Dell before they were faised out and the screen looked much nicer!  This is an LCD but my home LCD is much clearer very noticeable.
