Anyone have any idea how to make a Dell monitor sharper? As in "not looking as though I should yell 'Focus! FOCUS!' at it"?
I poked around the menu, but nothing seemed to help. Perhaps the damn screen is just...failing.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Is this a tube monitor or an LCD? It could be a matter of adjusting the resolution of the display.

You could try degaussing it. Is there a button with a crossed out magnet?

Okay, gave that a shot, still fuzzy.

Lower the resolution you are running at by one notch. If it is at 1280x1024 drop it to 1024x768.

It was a longshot, but at least it probably made a nifty sound.

Lower the resolution you are running at by one notch.
It is now at 800 x 600 or whatever.
Big...and still fuzzy.
I think it's the monitor itself, now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Once I had a cat throw up into my monitor, and the monitor got really dim and fuzzy.
Did you (or someone else) get vomit in your monitor?

Dunno. I'm at a new desk. I suppose it's possible.
Doesn't smell like vomit, though.
