3G Technology (GEM *) has 17" & 19" LCD flat panels (4x3 aspect ratio). The models were available with & without enclosed speakers; had good resolution and video response, and can be had for a low price. I bought a 17" w/o speakers from MacMall that cost less than $180 (after rebates); very good performance. Your fuzziness is probably due more to the additional monitor's differences in its own technology/construction, than to the display's resolution.
