you can't adjust it in DVI mode, it simply renders each pixel of display data to one set of tri-color pixels on the monitor. perfect 1:1 mapping. if it looks too sharp then you need to anti-aliase your input, user cleartype, etc.
 
for all it's issues, this is not one. LCD such as this, simply are super sharp over DVI, as they should be (actually, that said, some photos actually did look a little too sharp on 2407 because of the way the banding worked it made small scale adjacent pixels with increased contrast which made a few pics look a little sharper than they should, but I tend to doubt this is what you are complaining about).

Well in Photoshop the text looks too sharpened. It renders artifacts around it and makes it impossible to work in it. So for any graphics professional this is not the monitor. I wonder if the Samsung 244t has this problem.

And all these times people were saying the text was too blurry and ghosting :smileytongue: .
 
Anyway isn't this what ClearType tuner is supposedto "fix"? You can get it here:

thanks but it's not a problem with system-rendered fonts (like on the web). It's in images, the screen is so sharp that text in them looks too sharp and for that reason jagged edges and sometimes "bleed" occurs.. which kinda ruins this as a design monitor.

not sure what bleed is here, I thought it was where you leave margins for printers that can't print to the very edge, but I'm not a designer.
 
jaggedness just might mean that this monitor is sharp enough to reveal that some of the designs you were looking at did not have enough anti-aliasing applied, so what looked autmoatically anti-alias by a blurry CRT or a not perfectly registered off-set printer, etc. suddenly looks too crisp. I'm not sure, but I suspect any LCD or even any super, ultra, crazy expensive high-end CRT would demonstrate the same issue that is bothering you. but it is hard to be sure. can you take some screen shots?
