478459 2006-08-14 11:12:00 I have just bought a brand new Samsung 940N 19" LCD Monitor which I hooked up to my PC at work before bringing home.
It looked great! The fonts in outlook and word documents was fantastic.
Anyway, I got home, hooked it up to my PC and the fonts look ragged in outlook and word.
How can I fix this? I've tried playing round with resolutions and refreshes , no joy. SEE SCREENSHOT.....

478460 2006-08-14 11:19:00 You press prtscreen on the keyboard to capture whatever, then u need some gfx program like Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com) or similar.

After u press prtscreen paste it into something like Irfanview, then upload it here (www.imagef1.net.nz)

Post the link it gives u back here.

If you're using XP, see if clicking on the desktop / properties / appearance tab / effects / the 2nd option / cleartype fixes it. after u tick this option.

Did u set it at its native resolution??

Right click desktop,properties,apperance,effects, then tick use the following method to smooth edges of sceen fonts, then select cleartype from the drop down list.
