    I formated the Dell E1705 and reinstaled the windows media 2005 but the display doesn't look as sharp as before, it is even a little bit fuzzy. I have triyed the microsoft cleartype font tuner with no success.

    It is running at its highest resolution 1920 X 1200. Dpi setting 96.


    Does anybody else has also experienced this?
    What can I do?


    thanks!

    is cleartype font tuner the same as enabling cleartype? enabling cleartype worked for me.

    I am running the dell video drivers 78.59. It is not that bad, but I think it was sharper before.


    Which one is the best driver?

    1. make sure you're running in the native resolution

    2. make sure your dpi is set to 96

    3. make sure cleartype is enabled

    Go into device manager and make sure all your windows drivers are updated
