Text clarity in World of Warcraft

I picked up a Gateway FPD2275W 22" Widescreen LCD about a week ago and I've got WoW running at the display's native resolution (1680x1050), I have installed a ClearFont mod, but the text is just ... not that good. I feel I still have to strain my eyes to really read what's going on. However, everything else looks phenominal. Webpages, FPS games, and anything else in WoW that isn't text (Character looks crisp, sharp, world environments look amazing).

Anyway, anybody else experience this issue? Is there any fix for it at all?

I think I have a similar thing on my 27" Olevia 327V. A lot of it is clear but it is like a little blurry whenever there is bold text...regular text on my screen is sharp. I've only owned this 2 days myself so I don't know of a fix yet but I'll give this a bump to see if anyone else knows?

Update: I toyed around with some settings and increasing my TVs Sharpness made the text quite clear, all of it in fact EXCEPT bold red text. For some reason red bold looks bad on this TV, everything else looks fine though. A simple solution in WoW was to change the color of people's yells and pretty much everything looks good for me now.
