by working through the instructions in the 

"Adjusting the refresh rate"

 section on the link 

"Adjusting the Screen Resolution"

. It is normal for blurring to occur due to conduction 

losses in extension cables. You can minimize these losses by using an extension cable with 
better conduction quality or with a built-in booster.
