External Display problems?

Hi I have a MacBook Pro 15" I think RevisionB. I first bought a 22" Samsung widescreen LCD monitor plugged it in and found the text, especially text on the menus, dock, and desktop icons to be very fuzzy. I checked the cable, confirmed the monitor was at native resolution played with font-smoothing and returned the monitor as defective. I then bought a Dell 24" monitor, plugged it in and found the same problem, even at native resolution. I used different DVI cables each time, so it's not the cables. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on here?

Oh, yeah I did have it plugged in to a CRT using a VGA-DVI converter and the screen looked fine.

Are you mirroring the displays?

It shouldn't be very fuzzy.. I will say though that my Belinea 22" is nowhere near as sharp as my 15" internal.
