GraveBusta 2 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 Hewlett Packet I got a question, why is it when I use a 2 year old VGA monitor from you my system acts like it's slow or has a virus but when I use a 6 year old HDTV my PC acts like its brand new? Seriously HP is not good at making electronics anymore >_> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob423 52 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 I'd guess it's because the older monitor has a lower refresh rate than what your computer runs at. It's basically FPS for monitors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well considering I got this monitor with my scam of a desktop from walmart nothing surprises me so if it really is low refresh rate that explains it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Ferris 3 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 my HP laptop had its main graphics card and screen die almost right away and was surviving on onboard graphics and external monitor most of its life... HP hardware is hit or miss but they do have great customer support! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HP hardware is hit or miss but they do have great customer support! I didn't have such luck I had a rather rude experience I asked questions about downgrading cuz I disliked windows 8.1 and they got all angry and rudely said "oh great another one" and then hung up xD Edited January 21, 2016 by GraveBusta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saltome 16 Report post Posted January 18, 2016 Or maybe you have a virus which isn't compatible with the old monitor. xP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
