How do I improve resolution on an old monitor?

So I picked up a iiyama ProLite b2409HDS monitor the other day (out of my apartment's bin room, someone was moving out I think) and it's supposedly 1080p but looks horrendous!

I don't know how to show it well and I think taking a screenshot isn't the best idea since that's maybe just down to 1080p looking worse than the built in screen on a MacBook Pro but I've included those pics anyway alongside some photos I took of the differing screens.

This woud be very roughly comparable to Reddit saying they are going to federate with lemmy.

Reddit source code was open on Github until 6 years ago, I've been tempted to revive it and integrate federation ;) Using only "old reddit" level of interface. Just getting 6 year old code to install and compile is kind of a mess, but I invite anyone who is considering it to share notes! https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit
