make sure you go out to microsoft and use the clear type setup, it makes a big difference.

Did you click on the part that reads ClearType Web interface and go through the four step installation?

You might throw in some visine before you hit the wizard...

Flat Panel?

I've been using cleartype/font smoothing on my CRT monitor for years.

Rock Chalk · 12-30-2004, 04:36 AM

MOrons. IM an IT guy, not some schmuck that doesnt know his way around a computer. And I wasn't high and I dont need glasses.

My computer must have already been adjusted because there was absolutely no change. I went through and picked the ones that "looked best" and I still got no change.

You are probably right. I had cleartype already enabled on my PC and the only adjustment I saw was the text getting a little darker.

The leading cause of poor eyesight in young men?

Excessive weasel whipping.

You boys stop beating the bishop for a few days and see if you don't notice a difference.

Mine was. Cleartype has been around alot longer than just recently, though. I love it.

Rock Chalk · 12-30-2004, 07:59 AM

I used this at work and noticed a big difference on my crap CRT monitor.

AlienBronco · 12-30-2004, 10:08 AM

Rep coming your way!

Thanks for the tip.

alkemical · 12-30-2004, 12:22 PM

Just thought i'd share. My crt at home looked worse with clear type, but it's an ibm monitor, so there's probably something with that -

but my dell LCD @ work looked 1000x better. So i thought i'd share.
