ok, first of all i know when u download movies (.avi files either 1 cd 700 mb or 2 cds 1.4 mb) that the quality can range, but i see the quality on my friends and my cousins house and the average ones are very good, no pixelation, just like dvd. first of all, one thing i noticed on mine right away is that it is very very dark, and the quality is weaker too, and i can swear to whoevers up there that recently it got even worse...

does anyone know how i can fix this?? i think my videocards pretty shit, should i get a good one? and wtf is up with the darkness, thanks alot for ur help.

hey yo i was just at my cousin's house, i saw his quality. i can say that i overrated a bit, but even on regular videos his quality is better, not only movies (which ssome are exact files). however, i could live with the difference in quialities if mine wasn't so damn dark, why is it dark?? i have a flat screeen like 19 inch, its not that great of a flat screen tho, his is just a normal screen. please help./

i just realized something, on my computer, when i stand up and look at it from a downward angle the colour looks much more sharp and better, but as i come down to sitting position at one point i can literally see like a layer come over the screen from top to bottom, like a layer of darkness. its really weird, it makes it much less sharp, darker, and is the main reason the quality on my computer looks weaker. like you know how the skin colour looks yellow alot of times, well when i stand up it looks good, like it should, then as i sit it gets darker and starts looking kind of red. its random, can anybody please help me. pleaasee.

yeahh i can live with it, but when i see it on my cousins screen, not dark, i can see the darkness makes a big impact. there has to be a way to fix it, is it just because its a flat screen or maybe it has something to do with the video card? mines pretty shit.
