| 385301 | 2005-09-01 23:24:00 | Not really a problem just something I have noticed after recently recieveing a bunch of new HP Compaq desktop pcs at our school. Compared to the old CRT screens all the fonts on webpages, text documents etc look very thin, hard to read and actually quite messy, (see I am a teacher ain't I..), is this a setting that can be changed or fixed.

| 385303 | 2005-09-01 23:59:00 | I have just brought a View Sonic 17" monitor. I had a similar problem. Like the previous post. Make sure that the proper drivers are installed and change the settings to 1280x1024 if its a 17" and 75Hz refresh. Mine is running good as gold now. | CaptinMoor (8392) | ||

| 385305 | 2005-09-02 05:43:00 | Cleartype font should be used with LCD screens. Open Display properties, click on Appearance tab and then the Effects button. Make sure there is a tick next to "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:" Click on the drop down box and select Cleartype. |
