OK...I had a look at a couple of 17" LCDs today and geez they looked a bit fuzzy. I checked out the Samsung 173V and the 173N and at their native resolutions 1280 x 1024 any font smaller than 8 was blurry - and any font that was in boldface looked unclear as well, is this normal?

I also checked out an 17" IBM Thinkvision 170P (??) at work and it was horrible - even my avatar here was flickering on a static screen!!! Ziroc's candles on the homepage were flickering too, you could see bits of the white box which make up the background of the GIFs flickering. Surely LCD's can't be this bad??

Obviously the video card used would influence this, right? I can't imagine our work PCs having a decent video card. Could this have something to do with it?
