The Ardour font and screen size issue is a CRT issue. Regarding the LCD quality the issue isn't related to Ardour, it's a general eye fatigue issue caused by the way the LED backlight is done, how it behaves if the lightning of the room does change, the pixel pitch and even how visible or invisible the plastic of the screen is. I started with a LG24MB56-HQ-B for 135,-€ and replaced it by an EIZO EV2450W-BK for 292,-€. In most regards the EIZO is better than a good CRT, but it still strains the eyes more than a good CRT does. While the EIZO is way better than the LG, it is missing one feature provided by the LG. The LG allowed to add unsharpness. One feature of the EIZO, to add a background image with a pattern, is only available for Windows. However, I would buy the EIZO again, the backlight is ok, there is no viewing angle issue and the auto brightness control is perfect, once you found out how to avoid a setting, that does cause random brightness jumps. Given how fragile the screens are, they are much to expensive for my taste. My screen already has got a scratch that is invisible most of the times, it's only visible if the screen is black and the sun is shining directly onto the screen. Non of my decades old CRTs has got a scratch. The LCDs at work, in the computer room for children are cluttered with scratches. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
