Hi Neil,

If you don't run an LCD monitor at its native resolution, then you will get 
blurring. There is no way around it. This is because an LCD has a one to 
one correspondence with its pixels, unlike a CRT monitor.

I suggest you get a video card that can run the native resolution, and if 
you want things to look bigger, explore the accessibility options available 
within windows to increase the size of fonts and cursors and such.
