I purchased a Dell 2209 WA ISP monitor, and connected it to my Macbook Pro via a DVI to DVI connection. My Macbook Pro has a GE FORCE 8600 T graphics card.



The text is quite blurry on the Dell. It is at 1680X1050 native resolution, which is supported by Macbook.



Any thoughts here?



Thanks!

    Check your display settings in the display menu, mine are all set to 50 but you can adjust sharpness manually. Also try hitting the detect display button in the system prefs display dialog to make sure it's recognized the screen properly.

    On my 2410 I have to click the "overscan" button in the display settings panel.
