Yes, I know about those. Linux has arguably more settings to choose from, but it didn't help out. There's also RGB>BGR>GBR switches and contrast settings, and the ones you've mentioned like font hinting. It just doesn't seem to work on this screen no matter what I choose. Also, this screen has very poor yellows. When you have a solid yellow picture displayed you can actually see the color having a gradient from a darkish yellow to very bright yellow (almost white) from the top to the bottom of the screen, without even moving your head. But I bought this screen because it was rather cheap at the time and it's pretty good for games, which is what I cared for a few years ago. (low input lag + no tearing, no blurry screen when moving rapidly). I've read a few forum posts around the web and it seems other people have problems with this model and antialising as well. I'll definitely look into buying a quality screen next time though.
