I just received a new monitor today and it's awful. The text is blurred, icons are blurred, images seem pixelated (haven't seen this bad graphics since mid90s).

We have tried to adjust the settings to no avail.

I have read a few comments on the site where I bought it describing the same problem. I don't know whether it's a hardware problem (i.e. return it) or whether we haven't properly figured out the settings.

I work with text and stare at text on the monitor all day, every day, so I need to find a solution to this, even if it's send it back and get something else, as it strains the eyes too much looking at blurred text.

Any help and suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
