FWIW - If your monitor has an alternate set of BNC connections (RGB) it may pay to switch to using a BNC cable. I found with my Iiyama monitor that I got a much better signal with BNC cables. See if jiggling the cable end (both ends) changes the blurryness. That could be a clue that it's either the cable or the connector. You could try a contact cleaner spray (Radio Shack) on the connectors. That also made a difference for me. Cheers, Steve
