Fuzzy monitor?

So I took the casing off, and played with the adjustments...there are no focus adjustments, just vertical, horizontal and like a diagonal one. So what would cause it to be out of focus? Anyone have any Ideas? or should I just throw it off of a large building and start looking for another one?

Need to get a laptop for school...cheap, I'm poor. Any opinions

Thanx everyone for the info. If compatibility isn't a huge issue, then overall right now it looks like the Mac is the best deal...although the x22 is looking better and better.... still no update on the dell rebate deal. Maybe I am just illiterate, but I don't see anything about it on...
