    Does anybody have this monitor? I'm having a pretty hard time getting the fonts to look good.

    What's weird is that MS Word (for Mac) fonts look pretty good, Firefox's are so-so, and Eclipse's are downright terrible. Unfortunately I spend most of my time in Eclipse and Firefox.... :(

    At this point my settings are:
    Brightness: 75
    Contrast: 100
    Sharpness (helped a lot!): 25
    Color Management: off
    Red: 60
    Green: 60
    Blue: 60

    I also calibrated it from System Preferences and colors look veery nice (especially compared to my matte MBP screen).

    I'm no graphic expert by any means, so it surprises me that I can notice the "weird" (pixelated) fonts. I'm a software engineer and spend most of my time in an IDE or browser.

    I have a 2.2 MBP and I'm connecting via DVI.

    Thanks!
