Is your display set up properly? Most monitors have a auto-configuration option, just run it.

Check your monitors manual!

Dear Thomas:
                           Somewhat peremptory answer. I bought my monitor second hand and it doesn't have a manual

Well, in that case you might google for rhe manual, or you have to try yourself to adjust the picture settings.

Log into the Ubuntu 2D session. Is it better there?

I solved the problem by going to a lower resolution. Thanks for the help, guys!
