It seems to be fine now (After about a day of being in standby mode), although it still has a minor problem which I've had for a while now where things like display names on my contact list have "shadows" blurring off to the right.

Not that I am aware of. I moved the screen from my desk to down on the floor on top of my PC, and it didn't really do anything.

Sorry, what I meant was that checking the cables did nothing to help the problem, and that I'd concluded it was a screen problem as it was also affecting the OSD.

Is that distortion static or does it change/flicker? (I assume the later)
PS: If there is a distortion on the OSD too then almost the only conclussion is a screen problem (the OSD should not be affected by a broken or badly connected screen cable as the OSD is generated by the monitor itself, not from the signal comming from the PC).
Yes, it changes a bit, I think it might even be alternating between distorted and normal.

It's a long shot but you might try to check the resolution (the resolution you can set on your screen itself (if possible), not the resolution you set from your computer settings), the horizontal en vertical frequency, refresh rate and other screen related settings from the menu on your monitor.
I did try changing the refresh rate from the Display Properties (
) and found that the amount of distortion differed, but I can't remember if it was lessening with ascending or descending rate.
