samsung syncmaster 170n

I just got this Samsung SyncMaster 170N 17" LCD. I actually got the black model from newegg like 3 weeks ago...but it is no longer on the website.

Anyways I just wanted feedback from other users of this monitor. It seems to me that the text displays are always a little blurry. This is not dramatic but it is very annoying. I'm trying to see if my monitor specifically has a defect or something. Any suggestions or feedback is appreciated.
 
I found it...under display settings -> appearance -> effects. I'm not quite sure if it made it better. The text came out darker but the edges still fuzzy.
 
Be absolutely sure youre running it at its native resolution...that gave me a headache with my 712n

Edit: Native Res: 1280x1024

I don't see an auto adjust function. Where might that be?

How do I find native res?
 
Set your screen resolution to 1280x1024. That's it. If you dont know how to do that: right click your screen, click on...one of the tabs, I forget which, but then it lists screen resolutions, choose 1280x1024. It fixed my blurry text. Hope this helped.

Edit: Also, the Auto Adjust should be one of the buttons on the front of the monitor, but this sounds more like a resolution thing to me...
 
oooh, the monitor's auto adjust. I thought he meant some windows software auto adjust. Yes I press that frequently. I keep it on 1280x960 instead of 1280x1024 because the 960 keeps the proper 4:3 (800x600) ratio. Is this wrong?
 
LCDs have a 5:4 ratio, at least ones that run 1280x1024 as a native res do. When watching movies and the like, they'll still be distortion free (no stretching or squeezing) if you run the native resolution of the display.
