Default Do I need a new graphics card?

This is a wierd one, updated my monitor to a Samsung SM 943nw, 19 inch widescreen, my built in graphics is ATI xpress 200, which has been set to 1440 by 900, which is the optimum setting for the screen,
The strange thing is that certain areas of the screen has out of focus text, blurred, I dropped the resolution to a lower setting and it seems ok, although the screen is not as sharp.
Is this a monitor fault or do I need to update to another graphics card?
I took monitor to work and it had same problem, but i upped the screen refresh rate to 75hz and it solved problem, took back home and it only allows 60hz refresh, but according to manufacters specs, 60 Hz is the optimum setting.
The pc has a pentium 4 3.4Ghz processor with 2 meg ram.
Please help!!!

I think you need a graphic card if you want a good resolution.

Hi Flashhead2010

The ATI XPRESS 200 Chipset was released in 2004, so i would say yes you do need to upgrade your GPU (this maybe a bit late in the day but if you can post your Motherboard make and number I'm sure suitable Graphics Cards can be suggested)

Buying a graphic card would be a good solution. It will surely provide you a good resolution.
