If you have an LCD display and you want sharper type fonts:

Go to your desktop settings

Click appearance

Click effects

Check the box that says Clear Type

This will dramatically sharpen your screen.

Dont buy it?

By the way, that clear type setting really did help. Think it just anti-aliases all the fonts, but it looks MUCH nicer.

Yep I just set it on both my new LCD screens today and saw a dramatic improvement too.

Im not running an LCD and I still notice a difference, btw.
The only question is...why isn't this turned on by default? Guess It'd just make too much sense?

I am on LCD and I saw the oposite. Its blurry when I turn it on.

Thats not a tip, thats an idiotic trick to get me to install some scumware, or a dialer or something isnt it??

Your trying to trick me into beleiveing my eyesight it bad??? WTF AHHHHHHH

Im pretty sure it just anti-aliases all the fonts. How good it looks probably depends on what resolution you're running, one girl told me it gave her a headache.

What's your desktop reso? I run 1600x1200, lots of people that use my computer says it looks blurry to them

BV · 09-17-2003, 09:19 PM

looks blurrier to me as well
not as crisp

I'm at 1024 x 768 Sony LCD

KRL · 09-17-2003, 10:51 PM

I have one 15" LCD set for 1024 x 768 and a 17" set for 1280 x 1024.
