    Hi all,

    Just bought a T61p with WXGA+ LCD. When running at its maximum size (1680x1050), the text is very sharp - however it's a bit small. So, I try to use a bigger resolution 1440x900, at this solution, the text is not as sharp as it used to be when using 1680x1050. May I ask if there is someone having a same problem with mine? And how can I fix it?

    Thanks

    Try enabling ClearType. It's a Microsoft feature.

    I was told that LCDs can't natively render a lower resolution than their maximum resolution without blurriness occurring.
