    has this always happened? is it a new monitor? what connection (dsub/dvi?)?

    if it only happens when you browse web pages (java web pages, to be exact), check in your graphics card drivers that you have not forced anti-aliasing

              as stated above was it always like this. if not have you updated any drivers such as your video drivers.if it just started you can try a system restore.

                  "how do i update my video drivers?"

                  go to the website of your video card. you should be able to get them there

                        I very much doubt this is a graphics card or driver issue. Purchase an SVGA lead and try that, I bet you're using standard VGA. SVGA will be a much clearer output and resolve the issue.
