'Very thin characters' ... ? Not sure what this means ... I presume it refers to the Linux console, or similar, on bootup, and is a result of the graphics card used (different cards produce different 'system text'). Certainly in Gnome, KDE or whatever you can use as large a font as you like, although 9pt Tahoma is perfectly good for me as the screen is so phenomenally sharp. I bought an iiyama 4636D (18.1" TFT) a few months ago. Although it cost the princely sum of £936 it was worth it; I haven't regretted it for a minute. Compared with a CRT there is: - - less power used (40W max; my old iiyama 19" CRT used 300W max); - - little heat; - - very little space taken up (there's no "depth" to it); - - a wonderfully clear and sharp screen (especially with DVI output); - - no more tired eyes or headaches (in my case); - - no more degaussing or playing with geometry controls to try to get an (almost) rectangular picture ;) Alastair - -- Alastair Scott (London, United Kingdom) http://www.unmetered.org.uk/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE83N6jCv59vFiSU4YRAq4lAKCXArecRvZZ0I/ObDNaTdBE+5u2awCgvuor qrBbiXLxMQH8QXOuSyHNKKA= =0cTh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
