Dell SP2208 issues

Hi I just got a Dell SP2208. I bought it  because I have seen excellent reviews for Dell Monitors. My prior monitor was a Dell 17" CRT trintron monitor. So this is a big upgrade for me.
 
I have seen people having a lot of problems with the text distortion and background bleeding with this monitor.  For me those items appear to be okay, however the icons in the lower left corner of windows looks very choppy and the colors are little off. I am running the system of an very old graphics card. Its S3 UniChrome Pro integrated graphics with a VGA port only. Some people mentioned that trying the monitor on a different video card made a big difference. Can someone please tell me if my video card is bad enough that changing it will make a big difference. Also Does DVI vs. VGA make a big difference. Thanks.

    This is the Printer support section, not the Video section.  Depending on what model Dell you have will determine where to post.  If you have a Dimension or Inspiron desktop then post in the Desktop Video section.  If you have a Laptop, post in the Notebooks Video section. 
     
    However, I can tell you that old video card is most likely the problem.
