    Did the person with this problem send the computer type and monitor 
type? As I see it my Desktop is crisp and clear on a 6 year old 17" 
liquid crystal monitor. I think the only way you can get a blurry output 
is if the monitor is broken. Perhaps a broken video driver could yield 
the same thing, but nothing software can cause this.
