The words are blurred
The "shadowing" you talk about is due to cables in back of your computer, touching or too close together. I had this happen to mine. I separated, moved the cables apart, and no more shadows !! Sounds too easy, but it works. This is easy and you'll be surprised.
Is it just the fonts that are blurry, or everything? If fonts only,
then this almost certainly suggests that running the ClearType tuner
again would solve the problem. But this applies to all displays, so if
one is good and the other is not, then this isn't it.
If
everything is a little blurry, then this suggests one of two problems
-- the first, you report trying, which is that the display adapter is
set to a different resolution than the native resolution of the LCD
monitor itself. Your display adapter should probably be able to drive 2
monitors (the built-in laptop monitor and the external monitor) at
once. You should be able to set their resolutions separately.
Assuming
Windows XP: Start > Control Panel > Display > Settings > at
which point, you should see two monitors listed in a dropdown. Set them
to their native resolutions there (using the slider bar, usually all
the way to the right), and save.
If you do have the display
resolutions set to their native resolutions for both monitors, then
it's possible that your external monitor is messed up. A quick test
would be to run the on-screen settings, usually from a button on the
monitor itself. If what is displayed there is sharp and what is
displayed from Windows is not, then this points to a problem with the
display driver. If everything, even the on-screen display is blurry,
then perhaps the monitor settings are messed up -- usually there's an
option to restore to factory settings -- try that.

the words are very blurry and hard to see, looks as if the words and letters are smugded.
