I have used the Focus Technology board which uses the Trident 8900 chipset
and have been plenty pleased.  Perhaps it is the monitor that you are using.
I have been less than happy with many monitors on the PC's.  Even the Sony
1304 monitor which is supposed to be very good is a little fuzzy.  I am now
using a new Hitachi monitor which is VERY sharp.
