Some monitors get fuzzy at high resolution i.e. over 1024x768.
I would download the newest monitor drivers and the newest Video drivers then check the image at 1024x768 to see if its ok.
make sure your running the higest refreshrate rated for the monitor at the resolution your running.
you can also play with Font/text smothing ect. but thats only a bandaid for it.
I also found this review on the Dell system with that monitor, take it with a grain of salt though..

WHAT'S HOT: Dell's latest Dimension 8200 is easy on the eyes and ears. A black-and-silver, THX-certified Altec Lansing ADA995 5.1 speaker set--with a subwoofer bigger than the PC itself--delivered powerful, crisp sound and strong bass from our test audio tracks. The 19-inch Dell P992 monitor impressed us with sharp details and no dark spots during DVD playback; it displayed excellent colors in our static-image test, too, with very realistic flesh tones.
Thanks in large part to its NVidia GeForce3 Ti 500-based graphics card, the system posted top-tier gaming results. In our judges' view, the monitor did the best job ever of displaying images in Unreal Tournament, and we saw smooth game play at even the highest screen resolutions in all games.
WHAT'S NOT: Unfortunately, the same monitor that stunned us with great graphics sorely disappointed us on text. Characters appeared fuzzy in our test document. And while a price of $2498 isn't unreasonable for a high-end, well-stocked system, we've seen similarly equipped models that cost less.
The unconventional case (which is also used by PCs in Dell's 4400 line) doesn't make clear that you must lay the system on its side and press two buttons to open it. In fact, all indications are that you should open it from a standing position--but Dell does not recommend that. Because the case opens so wide, the long interior cables sometimes get caught on components or pinched between the system sides when you close it.
