I don’t know… max is 1280 x 1024. I have it set at 1280 x 968. Vid card is an Intel Extreme 2 Graphics. Old… like 3 years old. The fonts look kinda funny on the new screen, like they are shadowed or something ---

Looks even worse with the ClearType on! I need a better excuse for a new vid-card than “I pilfered a 17” monitor from the new computers we got in, swapped it with my 15" LCD, and now I can’t see PittSpeed very good!". :hs: ---

I just changed the resolution to 1280 x 1024 and it looks 10X better now… go figure. 🙂 Why do I need a better vid card again? :scratches head: ---

tha’ts because you were distorting your screen wtih improper resolution. a better card will yeild more settings availible, higher res and the like. you don’t _need_ it, just like you don’t _need_ a 17" lcd 😉 ---

I can look straight ahead and see what I’m typing, not down at the screen. I have one of those stands that raises my monitor up off the desk about 3 1/2 inches, and the 15" monitor was still very short. The only reason I liked 1280 x 960 is because that is proportional with 800 x 600, and 1024 x 768. 1280 x 1024 makes the screen much taller than it is with the other resolutions I’m used to using. Oh well, I’ll get used to it. 😃 ---

What is the alt+tab tool? I didn’t have to install anything to make my alt+tab scroll through my stuff in the toolbar. By the way Sonny, everyone at work w/ a flat-panel loves that ClearType too! 👍 ---

it shows a preview (screen cap) of the screen you are Alt+tabbing to, instead of just the icon ---
