dougkinzinger Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 i always thought it was for lcd monitors. no i dont use it. You should. Longhorn will have it enabled by default, and there's no plan to allow it to be disabled at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em_te Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Depends on my screen resolution. With 800x600, cleartype looks fuzzy. 1024x768, cleartype is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougkinzinger Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 cleartype looks fuzzy Not if you use ClearTweak and set the contrast to 1000. Try it; you'll LOVE it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolidSapphire Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 quick question, there are two types of crts? flat and regular right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavo Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Yes cleartype is awesome on a CRT, it's the main reason I switched to XP from Win2K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonarrow Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 quick question, there are two types of crts? flat and regular right? Yes, you can either get a flat CRT or a convex one. Both take up loads of desk space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsleezy Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Cleartype is designed for Laptop's and tablet pc's so that it can make the screens more clear because they are so small, but on a 17-60 inch LCD/Plasma you would be better off to leave it without cleartype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
