Cleartype isnt exactly groundbreaking news.
it also does not work with most plasma monitors. it actually made my text blurry... :(
"it also does not work with most plasma monitors. it actually made my text blurry... :("
I think it just takes a little time for your eyes to adjust. However, if you are able to get used to it, you'll never change it back. Those jagged fonts look horrible.
Awesome. I'm a mac man, but I'm forced to use a PC at work. I had no idea that this was available. HUGE IMPROVEMENT and great tip.
I'm forced to use a PC at work., you could find another job...
no but really , the differences many people proport between MAC and PC is purely personal preference and otfen silly ignorance ( I am not reffering you papa shango ). I learned on a Mac worked professionally on a Mac every job i have ever had. but bought a PC for home because of the price/what you get. A powerful pc is still about $1,000 cheaper thanit's Mac counter part.
It's funny to me how every few years, someone realizes there is ClearType on XP, and makes a big deal / news-flash about it. Personally, I think Microsoft should have it turned on by default. It's really the only redeeming feature that XP has over 2000, and most average users aren't even aware of its existence.
