FYI,
All monitors (should) have FOCUS and SCREEN adjustment pots on their
flyback. As with anything else inside the monitor, don't just them unless
you're certain you need to (adjusting focus is something I've only needed
to do once on a monitor). They're sometimes labelled "F" and "S",
sometimes unlabelled, but they should definately be located on the flyback
transformer (the plastic thing that the thick HV cable for the anode
connection comes out of). Also, you shouldn't need to adjust the pot very
much, usually a small change makes a large difference in the focus of the
monitor.
But first:
Also, beware that the dot pitch of the monitor can make things look out of
focus, especially if you try using a resolution that's higher than the
dot pitch supports. So, first, make sure you try a low, standard
resolution (something like 800x600 or 640x480), the monitor may not be
able to render the resolution you're trying clearly.
