So good in fact, that i bought one for home too! Once you've used an LCD with cleartype on for dev work, you can't ever ever go back.

It is the best for working realy long without torturing your eyes too much. Tim Stubbs wrote: Once you've used an LCD with cleartype on for dev work, you can't ever ever go back. Since i read your comment i enabled ClearType and had to go back as soon as possible Using ClearType is like reading the screen without my glasses on. It realy Drives me crazy. How can you actually work with an screen that is sharp by design using a software driven unsharpen tool? /c Re: 20 inches... when size does matter :) Tim Stubbs24-Jan-05 5:15 Tim Stubbs 24-Jan-05 5:15  Weird... Cleartype is designed specifically for LCD's and _should_ make things smoother, not less sharp. Do you not have font smoothing on at all then? Both anti-alias the fonts on the screen but Cleartype only really works properly on LCDs (due to the nature of the layout of the display pixels) - it does look blurry on CRTs for example. My Dell 2001FP 20" LCD certainly doesn't look blurry with cleartype - just far 'smoother', espcially for web browsing. To each his/her own - I guess that's why it's an 'option' eh?

I do have a 21' CRT downstairs in a box, but the thing is too damn big for my desk. My 19' takes up a lot of room too. When I finally get round to buying a LCD display I'll buy two, because I'll have the desk-space Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^] Re: CRT 19' Alex Korchemniy24-Jan-05 20:07 Alex Korchemniy 24-Jan-05 20:07  I can't stand CRT. I get headaches all the time. I'd gladly change a 19 CRT for a 15 LCD
