Blurry Type

[Guest]

I have a new computer running on Windows XP with an LCD monitor. All fonts
are blurry. I selected Clear Type from the Display
Properties/Appearance/Effects but this resulted in very little improvement.
It's very hard on the eyes. I have set the resolution at 1024x768 the
recommended setting of 1280X1024 is too small.

Hi TKB,

The blurry effect you are getting is because you are not running at
the LCD's native resolution. Because a LCD has a fixed number of
pixels (unlike a CRT), when you choose a lower resolution, the
display is interpolated.

There is no solution to your problem other than to get a different
LCD with a resolution that is comfortable for your eyes at its
native resolution.

My eyes are not what they use to be, so I use a 17" WXGA display. HP
makes a WSXGA display, but the characters were just to small to read
comfortably.
