kizzaaa Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 As the question asks, which font smoothing method do you use? I personally use Standard. ClearType for me makes text less sharper and harder to read despite trying to tune it with the ClearType tuning wizard. :s What do you use? (I have a modern 17in Philips 107E5 GS4 CRT) :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted May 21, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 21, 2005 Standard on my LCD. ClearType looks blurry, maybe because my LCD is running on 1024x768. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Pablo Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Cleartype tweaked on 1920x1200 laptop. Don't use it on my desktop as one LCD has the opposite LCD striping to the other, means one looks great but the other looks bad - as far as I could see there was no way of picking different LCD stripings for multiple displays.

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted May 21, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 21, 2005 Its weird.. when I first tried it out, I hated it. But I left it switched on, and to be honest now i'd never dream of switching it back off again! Just regular Cleartype, not 'tuned' at all.
