Desktop HP Envy 750-114: do I need a new monitor or graphics card?

I have a HP Envy Office 750-114 and a HP. V242h color monitor, etc. on the monitor are flat, dull and almost gray. It has been like that since we have the computer about a year ago. I've tweaked the contrast, etc., on the screen and it's a little better, but still not very good.

So, is it a new graphics card for the computer, or a new monitor? I'm afraid that if I buy a new monitor, it'll be the same, dull and flat.

If a new graphics card is required, which would be a good thing, and I need a new power supply?

My son loves to make games, one that is good for the games would be better.

Thanks in advance!

I did experiment a bit and partially answered my own question. I removed the monitor in question (HP V242h) and hooked it to another computer. What a world of difference! So I don't think it's the monitor, but the graphics card.

If a modified question: what would be a good graphics card for my HP Envy Office 750-114? One that enhances the display and provides the best game? Also, would need a new power supply?

Thanks again in advance!

  • HP Envy 750-114: hp envy 750-114-added to a graphics card

    I am to buy HP Envy 750-114 and upgrade with a graphics card.  The one I found is low power, so it will be fine with the 300 watt power supply that comes with 750-114 envy.

    The problem is I want to order the video card for a refund until the PC (the refund will expire until the PC is delivered).

    The 750-114 envy will accept a card of video of the form factor ATX size 7,76 "(L) x 5" (H)?

    LOWapproach, welcome to the forum.

    Here is a card that should work for you.  He argues that a 300W power supply unit (PSU) or better is necessary to function properly.  The power supply of your computer is 300W.  Many members have said actually to 400W.  You can try and buy a more powerful POWER supply if necessary.  Most newer cards require at least 400W.

  • Need new and better graphics card for my Satellite L30-10 W

    Hello

    I have ATI radeon x 200 m and I'm looking for good drivers for it.
    I m using windows Vista.
    I have on my drive of the graphics drivers installed but don't worry all is well and that's why my computer is running very slowly.
    Maybe someone has a similar problem like me.

    Hi Luk

    > Maybe someone has a similar problem like me
    Why you write about problems is not a problem it s a fact

    Believe me the new graphics card driver will not change anything!
    I had a Vista installed on the L30 and the laptop was very slow.

    I decided to install and use the XP again
    Vista needs much more portable recources like the previous Microsoft OS s. That's why the L30 runs slower.

    In my view, we should use the Vista on computers that support a graphics card with a 256 MB own or more, faster CPU and min. 2GB of memory.

  • HP Envy 750-114: replacing a graphics card and opening upward

    Ok. I'm already sorely regretting the purchase of any computer with a graphics card intel. I wish never to see another computer of graphics cards intel. I've got people who can advise me (somewhat) about how we replace these things. But still, in my ignorance, know that the first requirement is to open the machine. They wanted me to take a picture of the inside to give a sense of my options.

    Only I can't the infernal thing open. I see what looks like should be an easy thing of twisty open, but no other screws that look like they open on one side. However, the twisty thing is totally impossible to twist. Nothing I have is able to open it.

    Someone please tell me how to open this thing! There must be a way that does not require a hammer. What I want is a graphics card that works - I can't even this one to play older games (and it is for most everything I play, except star wars the old Republic.) And the last driver update that has even beaten!) The graphics card intel cheap is literally the only thing stopping me. It meets all the other requirements. But I can't yet figure out how to get the thing open so that people can give me advice on what I can replace it with.

    Help, please.

    I think that there is a hole in the nut as you try to turn.  In fact, you can insert the right Torx screwdriver and turn it to the left side.  This should allow you to open the case.  At least what I had to do to open the suitcase on my new HP Phoenix.  I have to admit that it was not easy to do, however.

  • HP ENVY desktop computer - 750-339c: desktop HP ENVY - 750-339c adding ssd drive

    Can we add a ssd drive to this computer

    The answer would be 'YES '.  The procedure, parts, video and are explained here.

    I have a link only as an example.  If your cloning the original HD, you must follow the steps by the cloning software. Be aware of the differences in the original size of the HD, I would keep side (to protect your OS system) after the installation of your SSD. If you want a secondary data drive, pick-up a new HD.

    When we ordered this laptop, I swear that the reported specs it would come with a firewire port. But it arrived without one.

Should we just return this and use credit to get a different laptop or add a card to the existing ENVY?

    I own a Portege A100 and I need to update the graphics controller to play games.

    My problem is I went to the Download Center and the latest driver is currently installed in my notebook.
    I got this game running before but had my cell reprogrammed and don't remember how to operate.

    Help, please!

    Hmmmm... to be honest Portege is not portable for the games. Maybe for playing chess, but for some graphics intensive games is certainly bad laptop.

    Anyway, the question is what you want to do.
    Do you want to play some games or simply to grow old (already working) game to run again? Or maybe the two options?
