ClearType

If you have WindowsXP, you need to at least try this. Click on the link below and try out ClearType. You don't have to install anything, just click on the check mark box.

WindowsXP ClearType (http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/cleartypeactivate.htm?fname=%20&fsize=)

You should instantly notice that your fonts in your browser have become amazingly clear. Thats because XP is now using anti-alising on the fonts. I really like it.

Don't have XP on right now so I can't play with it. But isn't it only for people with either laptops or flatscreen/LCD monitors?

It looks kinda cool at first, but after a while (2 minutes) on my monitor everything just looks blurred.

I need a new monitor <_<

*sigh* Yes. This monitor is about 4 to five years old. It came with my old gateway computer, and it's still working and it's not to the point where i cant stand it yet.

But at lan parties if I am playing a game with snow in it (like the level on MOHAA) and someone with a good, newer monitor is sitting next to me, you will notice that my snow is more of a greenish color than a blue/white color.

I plan on buying a new one soon, probably at least a 19" maybe bigger if I have more money at the time.

CRTs aren't meant to work with ClearType tech.

It did say it could be used by a flatscreen though, which I plan on buying.

[JC Denton]

Flatscreens are LCDs and CT is compatible with LCDs, so ya, enjoy teh coolness of CT tech.

I'm using a ViewSonic E70fb Perfect Flat CRT monitor, and it looks wicked awsome with ClearType on.
