Blurry text and picture using Viewsonic VX2433wm 24'' monitor HELP please

I have the late 2009 macbook pro and I just bought a 24" viewsonic VX2433wm HD monitor. when I connect the monitor to my mbp, the picture/text looks a little blurry or fuzzy. Strangely, if I turn the monitor on and off a few times, sometimes it fixes the picture and it looks normal until I unplug it again. I have tested the monitor/cable with my pc and it works fine. any ideas????

late 2009 macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Is it connected by a VGA cable? The monitor may need to be "tuned". Usually there is an AUTO button on the front of a monitor. If not, it should be buried in the monitor's menus somewhere.

In that case, try switching from a VGA connection to a DVI connection. That might clear up the blurriness.

I also experience a problem with the VX2433WM. When I attach it to my MBP via HDMI (of course via a mini-dsiplay-port-to-HDMI adapter) it does recognize the screen, but for every resolution I select the picture is cute at the edges.
Since the screen is Full HD capable (1080 p 1920x1080) there should not be an issue at alle with any resolution.
any ideas why this could be?

I will have to go and pick up the adapter for my laptop. It also looks a little blurry in 1080p TV mode but maybe thats because its in TV mode. is DVI a better connection?

Yes, DVI is superior. It's all digital and gives the clearest possible picture on the screen.
