I once got rid of a lot of fuzziness by wrapping the video cable with aluminum foil; which was feasible because it was only a few inches between the MB and a backpanel connector. But you might consider your longer video cable routing to keep it as far as possible from RF noise. I've also seen a montitor get fuzzy when setting too close to a noisy computer or another monitor. Another thing that sometimes helps and sometimes hurts is to give your monitor a good slap.
