You might also want to check your monitor refresh rate settings. LCDs refresh less frequently than CRTs in general but often Windows defaults to the lowest rate (which is more power friendly). For example mine defaults to 60 Hertz but the monitor can do either 60 or 75. Setting it to 75 makes for a subtle, but noticeable difference in quality. > The Cleartype tuner is here: > > http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/1.htm Yup - ClearType is insanely great. ;^) After you use it for a while switch back: you'll be amazed at how bad text looks. Usability studies have shown that people read, on average, nearly 20% faster from screens with ClearType enabled than from the same screens with no ClearType - I find that staggering.
