IBM p260 21inch crt dvi problem

Ok, me and my mate have this monitor. 'tis a lovely beast, does 16x12 at 85htz and looks fantastic, on VGA. Although, via digital it looks horrid.. [it has dual inputs one dvi one vga]

Anyway, the picture via dvi to dvi looks awful, cloudy, blurry, painfull to look at. Even when messing with all the settings as i had done with vga to get it bright and crisp.

any ideas? Be a shame if cant get it fixed as its an amazing monitor, and i thught dvi was superior?

Just found some software drivers, things for it? I didn't know monitors needed software O.o? Will get my mate to try as my pc just died. Happy happy *swears a lot*

not much between vga and dvi really, and i thought dvi was pretty much only for LCD's?

its a high end CAD crt monitor, apparently the software worked a treat

there are a few CRT`s that have DVI too
i have a viewsonic PF77 17in CRT with DVI works good better than running it on VGA
