The image is blurred:
Read the 
How to adjust the screen resolution section, and then select the correct resolution, 
refresh rate and make adjustments based on these instructions.
How do you use a VGA extension cable?
Remove the extension cable for the test. Is the image now in focus? If not, optimize the image by 
working through the instructions in the 
How to adjust the screen refresh rate section It is normal 
for blurring to occur due to conduction losses in extension cables. You can minimize these losses 
by using an extension cable with better conduction quality or with a built-in booster.
Does the blurring only occur at resolutions lower than the native (maximum) resolution?
Read the How to adjust the screen resolution section. Select the native resolution.
Pixel errors can be seen:
One of several pixels is permanently black, one or more pixels are permanently white, one or 
more pixels are permanently red, green, blue or another color.
