    I bought an Acer 5720 about a month ago and it was working well until yesterday.When I turned it on the screen was fuzzy/blurred, I couldn't read the writing and it was un-usable.Any idea what the problem is?

    What do you mean by "fuzzy"? Is it like you are looking through a piece of frosted glass? Do you have a pic?

    It could be a bad connection between the LCD and motherboard, or a bad GPU. If it is still covered by it's warranty I would send it in... If not, you might try opening it up and ensuring that the LCD cable is firmly seated.
