did you already adjust the clock/phase settings on your monitor? usually there is an auto button as well. VGA input pretty much always looks terrible on LCDs before doing this.

press auto adjust button on monitor

Voodoo cards get interference and it's more obvious on LCDs so that's how I take it. The other things (washed out picture, horizontal blurriness and visible horizontal line patterns) are a 100% intended and intentionally engineered video feature.

I recall a similar issue being fixed by replacing a faulty resistor somewhere.
Search youtube for voodoo repair vids.

The hard part will be diagnosis.

Mine didn't ghost when I had it.

Wow! That seems to have fixed the ghosting! Thanks for the suggestion.

Otherwise the screen fuzziness , I figured was just the nature of the card connected to a LCD.

yes, LCDs generally do either 1:1 or a non-integer scale to fit, and then blur the image a bit. so it's not going to look that good, although 3d graphics might fare better than pixel art. you could check in the OSD if there is a sharpness setting.

and additionally, the 3dfx cards' post filters were certainly designed for CRTs, not LCDs. there are some environment variables to turn them off, but not sure offhand how much that applies to a voodoo graphics as opposed to voodoo2 and up.

an external scaler could do a much sharper integer scale, with a bit of black around the image though.
