I'm getting in on this rather late, but were you by chance using Flurry as your screen saver? The reason I ask is because I had a similar problem using a cheap LCD. I left it on with Flurry as the screen saver and started noticing the fuzzy looking image on the screen that you describe. More noticeable in the screen text, but generally a fuzzy image. I stopped using Flurry on that monitor and it cleared up. Just a thought.
