 Easier on the eyes

Clear Type Example

I was working with someone here at work (shocking!) who told me that by doing the following you can make text much easier to read on LCD screens.

  1. Right click on the desktop and select ‘Properties’
  2. Click on the ‘Appearance’ Tab
  3. Click on the ‘Effects…’ button
  4. Change the second dropdown menu from ‘Standard’ to ‘ClearType’.

I think this really makes a difference, but maybe I’m weird.

  1. Standard looks better on my Benq. Still it was interesting and it did change the appearance.

    I wish I could make fun about not working at work. It is work and I feel like a dog.

  2. I think the ‘ClearType’ makes the text on screen look much more like printed text.

    I was more making fun of my sentence, “I was working with someone here at work”. I didn’t really need to explicitly spell out that we were working at work. I do spend the majority of my time at work working (no matter what any other people say).
