It is the monitor's fault.  I have my Amiga connected to a Sony KV-1311CR
monitor and the text is very crisp.  The difference between these two monitors
is unbelievable!  For a real trip I hook the Amiga to my 25" Sony XBR series
monitor and pump it through my stereo with Klipsch speakers.  This is the way
Mind Walker was meant to be played.

I believe you will not find a better monitor than the Sony for the Amiga unless
it is a high persistence phosphor.  Price is ~$495 at a discount house.
