Fuzzy text - Second Screen
Just rec'd a Dell 1704FPT to replace a CRT monitor I've been running with my Latitude C640 laptop.
This is the third LCD screen I've tried and every time the new screen shows fuzzy text (ghosting).
The laptop driver is an ATI updated Radeon 7500.
The laptop does not have a DVI socket so I'm using the standard VGA outlet.
I've gone through all the settings with the Dell Rep but no change.
Dell has suggested trying a DVI/VGA adapter. However, a local computer tech says "forget it - your laptop is old. Change the laptop!"
Any ideas?
- are you using Cleartype to display the fonts?
Display properties > Appearance > Effects >
check mark in box "use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:"
2 choices are -Standard- and -cleartype-
helped me with fuzzy text on the W2600
