Q: Suddenly low res and off size.

Dual LCD cinima displays (R - newer aluminum frame / L older plastic frame) using Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT - This morning checking mail I noticed the type was scummy and hard to read. My main monitor (L) is bleeding over onto the right and off the bottom. Both displays show scummy type. Rebooting, un/replugging, reinstall system, downloaded latest drivers from nvidia..... Monitors respond to change of display settings but type is still really scummy and the L frame still bleeds over to the R.

 

Reboot in safe mode - grey linen looks fine till I log in and it begins the process of shifting to my work screens. You can see a sudden shift of the L display overlapping the R even in grey linen.

 

All software is updated that I know of.  Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5

 

Is this a software or hardware issue? Take it to the shop or try something else?
