Blurry Text when display monitor connected to Macbook Pro 13 inch

[Jos_830-1]

I've been reading the blogs about this because so many people are reporting the same issue. When I hook up my Macbook Pro 13 inch to my HP Pavilion 27-inch monitor the text is insanely blurry!! I've already tried the trick to turn 'off' the dynamic contrast ratio - done. Part 2 is to turn 'off' Custom Scaling. This isn't possible because the custom scaling feature is greyed out. 

Is there a software I can download to fix this problem? When I go to the HP site, nothing is listed for Mac downloads. 

Or if I bought a hdmi to dvi adapter... would this fix my problem? 

Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm at the point I'm going to return this monitor soon!
