Hi BoB3rt, recommended resolution for your screen is 1680 x 1050 and this will give the best view for normal use, [Sorry if you already know this]. I would think for gaming use the highest resolution you can that also gives a good frame rate, keeping the resolution as close as possible to the native one is normally best for most TFT screens.

Update your graphics card drivers...

If you're not using the native res of 1680 x 1050 then it will look crap, blurry, and text will be deformed. And it kinda defeats the purpose of getting a 22" monitor if you're going to use such low resolutions...
You have a decent graphics card so should be playing games at that res too, it can handle it.
