ClearType in Windows XP

[Goldfinger]

I was just wondering how many of you used the cleartype feature in Windows xp . I love it personally makes all the text way easier to read and it makes the text look a LOAD better. I didnt like it until i used the online tuner that microsoft has.

there you go the cleartype tuner .

I enabled it as soon as I discovered it a couple of weeks ago - I think it's absolutely fantastic. It makes all the text so much clearer and easy to read.


I haven't been through that wizard online yet but I'll have a look now

[Goldfinger]

yeah i suggest anyone that uses it to go through the online wizard cause it really improves the look .

[Sinecure]

Is this for laptops only, or for all PC's?

[Goldfinger]

any PC that is running Windows XP. .

wow

it seem to like adobe acrobat "cool type"

hm, m$ make anything else..

[JamesUS]

It was originally designed for laptops and PDAs - while it does show most improvement on my laptop it's excellent on my normal PC as well.

If you have a Triniton, it's great too

[orca]

Hmm, I just installed it... I need to get used to it, though...

[Goldfinger]

its great on my Trinitron Flat Display . i guess its really good for those LCD Flat Panel's

[Thomas P]

Yeah, it was designed for LCDs, since they don't alias like Monitors

I love clear type. Everything looks much smoother!

And thanks for the link to the online tuner Goldfinger, I had lost it.

interesting comment as i beta test OS;s for microsoft the cleartype wasnt actually enable until the RC stages of the OS. I find it to be a great feature..

[TheComputerGuy]

well its also an added benefit for people with slight eye problems, and they dont have to turn on a magnifier on there, nor turn on the invert colors, that just disfigures everything when you do...

See M$ did a good job on this OS

It doesn't do much if you're running at high res on a CRT though, just makes everything look fuzzy.

On my laptop its amazing though.
