Nvidia 2D quality issues are very real. And its not only related to EDID alone for sure. I had tried EDID fix, did nothing. Its still not good. I have inputs from both ati running system and my nv running main rig to my U2410 and there is definite difference on the way 2D is displayed by the two cards. I have said this before as well. It looks more to do with the way clear type is rendering text our the easy two do text AA. Its.minor and you can liver with it. But it keeps bugging me.
The EDID fix itself is not quick fix either. Most people will give up after reading the fix.

The problem is that both companies have glaring issues. The best thing for end customer at the moment is to chose according to your priority and use. And most importantly find the driver that works for your system. There is no need to update driver just because new one is out. Sure give it a try. If it does not work for you, you can easily go back. I have always managed to find a drive which works well with the games I am playing at that moment. There is no real reason to about all the things that have gone wrong for others. Both companies will have issues with minority user's systems even though it might seem a lot when you see it posted on the net.

I am still on 10.4a for ati and 259.32 for my nv system.
260.63 which are praised by some and even reviews by some sites work like crap on my system. And 10.4a are overall faster for me with minimum issues. All you need to do is find one that works for you.
