Monitor - text not as sharp

[watek]

Is it normal for a shadow mask crt? Text looks all grainy and fainted. Comparing it to my flatscreen crt, there's a huge difference. Something wrong with this monitor?

Are all of the following equal:

Resolution, color depths, refresh rates, video card, connector quality, cable length

If not, then you're not doing an apples-to-apples.

Are you driving it too hard? May need a degaussing or a bit of tweaking on the focus.

1. what is the max spec refresh rate for your current resolution
2. what is the refresh rate are you running at
