Do I have to replace the lcd monitor to get a sharper view after I upgrade my new graphic card?

Q. I bought GTX 470 by EVGA. However, the texts and everything looks kinda blurry at 1280x800 or 768. My monitor is Gateway, FPD2485W and bought it three years ago. If I replace the monitor with a newer one, will that make everything more sharp and clear with XP or 7?

A. No duh it looks blurry. You're not running your LCD at native resolution. Turn it up to 1920x1200 and everything will look fine.
