You might also want to check the refresh rate. One of the drawbacks of flat panels is they are very particular about settings and generally only work well with one setting. Also, are you using Windows XP? XP has a built-in text sharpening feature, Cleartype, which seems to help with the flat panels. When I upgraded my computer from 2000 to XP I found text was noticeably sharper on my 17" monitor.

It is at its worst when I am looking at black text on white background - I might try to find another driver or just take this beast back.

A number of the laptops are designed with a minimum resolution and once you go larger than that it becomes 'blurry'. As a test, try changing your resolution to 1280 * 1024 and see if it becomes clearer. Eg. My flat-panel here at work doesn't work too well at a larger resolution.

What I find is that at times, certain fonts are quite blurry (especially Times Roman and serif fonts - I hadn't noticed it in the shop and as most email and email newsletters use TR font, I'm finding it maddening.) Before I contact the seller, I wanted to ask the list whether anyone else has experienced this.... TIA Kath Pelletti Software Design & Solutions Pty Ltd.
