Correct me, if I am wrong, but one does not have to change the monitor to
get better resolution, right? Can't you simply change the video card in the
PC? That would be a lot less expensive!

John,
With LCD monitors, there is only one specific native resolution. Any
other resolution is blurry, not as tack sharp, so you must insure you
have drivers for that resolution in order to have acceptable clarity
with text, etc.

The first thing you need to do is to learn the characters by ear. You just
need lots of repetitions and lots of drilling. Have a look here
