The problem is my screen is not as sharp as I would like, the fonts are greyish and the whole thing is quite literally giving me a headache when I have been looking at it for a while.

My machine has an i5 processor and ATI Radeon 6470 graphics card. I have tried changing resolution but that does not help. The screen looks like the really old crap monitors that my previous employer had.

I have checked this out and can see there is a known problem. When I was sorting out Ubuntu I pressed the button for the additional driver and on settings/systeminfo/graphics shows Vesa Seymour.

Can someone please tell me (in very easy step by step language!) how I can fix this.

I have an nVidia 8600 GT graphics card and I just updated to Ubuntu 12.04. I suffered the same issue with Gnome as well as Unity after upgrade from 11 to 12.

The solution was to change refresh rate, it was at 75Hz and I lowered it to 60Hz. The image got sharper and stopped making my head hurt.
