21.5 Imac screen is blurry and out of focus

I have a Imac 21.5 3.06 ghz intel core i3 which I got about a week ago and I just noticed that the monitor is going out of focus more and more. I have a second monitor hooked up and the images look fine on it and the resolution on both are almost the same I checked universal for zoom and it is off. This is becoming a real issue as I edit photos for clients on this system. What do I need to do to fix this issue.

21.5 3.06ghz intel core i3, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

OK, well that' really strange because that is the correct resolution (native resolution) to be running.

LCD monitors can't go out of focus if they are running at native resolution from a digital input. It's really hard to say what you are dealing with without actually seeing the display, which obviously can't be done from within a forum. You may need to take it to an Apple Store and compare it to others on the floor.
