    Fuzzy monitor?

    So I took the casing off, and played with the adjustments...there are no focus adjustments, just vertical, horizontal and like a diagonal one. So what would cause it to be out of focus? Anyone have any Ideas? or should I just throw it off of a large building and start looking for another one?
