    Right, I don't know too much about computers so sorry if I don't use all the technical terms for things..

    Well, previously I had one of those old-fashioned chunky looking monitors, but recently bought a Flat-Screen monitor. In Photoshop if I open a JPEG file it looks fine, and if I view other people's JPEGs on the internet or whatever..

    But, the problem occurs when I try hosting my own JPEGs on the internet, they appear all pixelated and with a terrible quality. I see them this way and so do other people, but only once they're put onto the internet.

    A friend told me to change my monitor hz to 70, which it was already at...

    Can anyone think of what the problem might be?

    I'm using a Radeon 9600 Pro graphics card by the way.

    hz does not matter for lcd's..

    is there a chance the picture was just shrinked to fit the page legth or something?

    Are you using IE? that might be your problem.

    Do you have the Color qualit in your desktop properties set to the highest??

    just some questions..

    In answer to your questions..

    No, I'm not using IE I'm using FF.
    Yes, the colour quality is at highest.

    -=Darkstar, yeah, the quality just looks terrible and sometimes there are just blocks of colour in places from the signature or whatever.

    maybe his monitor is so HD that it shows all the tiny imperfections in jpegs. Like HDTV does to celebrities faces..... ok that was a dumb suggestion

    I think 120L is closer to 200$, not the most expensive but not too bad.

    it is most likely the settings you have it set at, try linking us to one of these imagesso e can check if it is your monitor.
    even monitors that are 15 years old have hiher definition than HD TV, and resolution would't be an issue as on a screen the image would just be smaller(physically) at higher resolutions

    The only thing that I could think of is that your PS(Insert you Version here) has like a default file compression set for saving JPEG's. Usually, you want either 11 or 12 (Max) to keep the quality. Just a suggestion.
