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.

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?

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.

That does sound like the monitor. You can hook it up to another computer to make sure if that is a possibility, but I would be shocked if it wasn't the monitor.

Yep. Sounds like the monitor is bad.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I did a hard reset on the phone (a scary or useful feature of the system tools folder) and it fixed the problem. I just had to synch up all my contacts and favorites again.
