Thanks for the tips. I have an M782p and had done everything you suggested but the clear type fonts. This made it even better. I had just gotten a 992 at work yesterday. That prompted me to look at your message. I don't have administrative rights at work but I made the changes that I could. I love this forum and thank good people like you for sharing what you can.
I don't have the options that you suggest. I have Dimension 4100 w/ NVIDIA 64MB GeForce2 MX with TV out. The display properties allow me to change to large fonts. I also have color correction tabs that I used to decrease the brightness and also the gamma. I am happy with the picture but on the original Trinitron I didn't have to do this. It was a 17" so the comparison may not be fair.
The clear type fonts are what I'm curious about. I could not find a setting for this anywhere. I am using Win2000. SP3
Thanks for the reply. I remember now where I had read about "Clear Type" fonts. I would highly recommend following this link to an excellent article. I wish I could benefit from sub-pixel rendering on my computer. This article describes the origins of this technology and demonstrates Microsoft's rip-off of another "small fish".

Wow, I just made the change to large font and it made the world of difference! I was happy enough with the standard size, but the large made it sharper, more readable. I left the dpi at 96....120 made it way too large. Thanks for the tip!

P.S. I found that using 4x anti-aliasing is my only option. This did help.
