Most often this is because you're not using the panels native resolution. Each panel has an EXACT number of pixels - although you can set it lower it will look fuzzy and crappy. You really must use the native res to get a good, clear picture. I looked up this monitor and its native res (as nearly all 18-19" LCDs are) is 1280x1024. Set it to that and your picture will clear right up. If you need a lower res permanently then you might consider a CRT (which can change resolution with more quality) or a smaller LCD (like a 15") which uses 1024x768 as a native Res.
