Default monitor upsize

I just went from a 16in hpvx74 to a 19inch aoc? and I'm not crazy about the way the letters look. its like I can see the dots.

for you guys who have larger monitors. What screen resolution do you use?
or is there something else I can do?

Just right click on desk top

Choose Properties
then Appearance
then Effects
then the second check box will say "use the following methoid to smooth..."
Choose Clear Type.
