I cannot adjust the resolution of this monitor for the life of me and it's annoying as hell as it keeps telling me to adjust the resolution. This is the worst monitor I have ever had. Anyone has any idea how to fix this short of throwing this monitor in the garbage and buying another one?
Thanks,

To adjust the resolution on a ViewSonic VG1655 monitor, set the resolution to the correct aspect ratio. This can help resolve issues like a blurry screen. Use your computer’s display settings to select the appropriate resolution that matches the monitor's native resolution.
