OT: New Monitor Not Very Crisp?

Fried my trusty 20" CRT sometime last week. Suspect bad AC at the client site
since the group I'm working for has toasted three laptops in the past month.
Swapped in my monitor from home to the client site, and then went out and bought
a GateWay 24" (1920x1200) LCD monitor for home use.
Seems to work ok, but it lacks the crispness of the Sony 19" (1600x1200) that
I'd been using at home.
They're both running digitally and I set Windows' smoothing to "ClearType".
I also stepped through GateWay's (quite user-friendly) setup/tuning utility a
couple of times. Only anomaly is that the instruction manual refers to a
"Geometry" setting which is present on the monitor's menu, but not enabled.
Am I missing something?
The GateWay product seems well thought out and well executed - it's just that
fonts are noticeably soft on it. It's about 25% of the softness you seen when
running an LCD monitor at some other rez than it's native rez.
I'm thinking I'm still missing something.
But what?
