You should be able to do the natural resolution of the monitor
with no problems. (That way you get the shapest image). What you
describe is what you get when you have a larger virtual screen running
on
a smaller physical moniter.

Huge is a relative term. Try running a 30" (2560x1600) moniter. But the
fuzzieness could be from running a LCD at other than its natural
resolution.
