I just got a new e machine and plan to use my old monitor as it is not that old. I notice that the letters on the screen seem a little fuzzy. The monitor is a Samsung. Could it be that it is not compatible with the e machine?

Thanks for any input

First thing if you have not done already is to check your screen resolution in display settings in control panel and set to 16 or 32 bit.

Also as new computer, you can check the Samsung site for monitor drivers for your model of Samsung and then update the monitor driver.
