Hi I'm not sure if this is where to ask this question.

My font looks a bit faded? Not sure why? I've played around with the monitor
settings; and nothing fixes it. What could this be and what would cause it?

Thanks

Try fiddleing with the "ClearType" business.

Thanks. I'm really not sure what any of this info means? Can you guys be more
clear.

Thanks!

LisaB,
To use ClearType for screen fonts

1.. Open Display in Control Panel.
2.. On the Appearance tab, click Effects.
3.. In the Effects dialog box, select the Use the following method to
smooth edges of screen fonts check box.
4.. Click ClearType in the list.
Notes

a.. To open Display, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance
and Themes, and then click Display.
b.. ClearType is ideal for portable computer and other flat screen
monitors. ClearType may appear slightly blurry on desktop computer monitors.
c.. Whether you select Standard or ClearType from the list, you must have
a video card and monitor that support a color setting of at least 256
colors. Best results are achieved with High color (24-bit) or Highest color
(32-bit) support. Click the Settings tab to set Color quality.

That's a copy of result of Win+F1 || search on "Clear Type" || clicking on
"Use ClearType for screen fonts"

Ok it's set to standard and is worse when set to clear type.

Thanks,

Is this a CRT? If so and the situation is getting worse, then the issue
could be be the control electronics in the monitor starting to fail.
