  I believe the VR262 is a mono monitor. The VRT19, being a color monitor,
will always be less sharp than a mono unit. Also, if you use the "small
font" option for things like DECterm, the dots are only a single pixel wide,
so they will appear fuzzy on the screen, depending on whether or not they
land on a stripe or slightly off.

  There's always the possibility that you got a bad monitor... I'm quite
happy with my VRT19.
