New PC - Pixilated and sorta blurry images and graphics!

OK, this has become the most annoying thing on the planet lately.

I bought a new PC and ever since I've had it (about 1 week) I've noticed that the graphics and images are pixilated and kind of blurry. It's really hard to enjoy the internet and applications with graphics.

I have no idea what's causing this, I just wish I could make it stop.

Advice please.

Thanks alot.

below is some system info.
