 |
|
Ok, I have a 19" widescreen LCD display. Whenever the resolution is
at anything EXCEPT 1440x900, text on the screen becomes deformed and
nearly unreadable.
While this is not an issue when running most applications, as my
resolution stays on 1440x900, when I do something which changes the
resolutions (ie, game), the problem occurs.
Any ideas? |

Perfectly normal because you're changing the Aspect Ratio. |

Also, text on many sites, e.g., viewsonic, asus, is too small to read.
Win Explorer View menu/text size changer has no effect there.
WinXP magnifier is for me a not so good solution.
Has anyone discovered a cure for almost microscopic sized text?

You can configure minimum text size.

HUH????
MY Wide-Format LCD does just *fine* on about every resolution it
supports; including many you'd suspect that it wouldn't.
"Native" resolution is 1680x1050 (as is common with most good LCD
monitors these days).
Trying each:
However, it runs just *fine* at:
1600x1200
1024x768
800x600
and (when it boots up)
640x480
It's just that with those particular (4:3) resolutions, the text gets a
little bit wider than on wide-screen, because it's stretched.
Funny though, that it doesn't seem to support 840x525 resolution.
You'd *think* that would be simplest to emulate.

To be fair, the claim was that the LCD monitor's native resolution is
the only "setting that will *properly* display text and images". I
take the word "properly" to mean "with correct aspect ratio", so IMO
the claim is valid. At any rate you've already conceded that your text
is stretched, now tell us what your circles look like. ;-)

Huh? |
His claim was, and I quote: "text on the screen becomes deformed and
nearly unreadable." Not complaining about the aspect-ratio at all, as I
figure.
My circles don't look all that bad, really.
A tiny bit oval-shaped; but not obnoxiously so.
But my text is QUITE readable; even (or especially) when playing games
at 800x600.
Like I said: I suspect something is wrong with the particular LCD
monitor he bought. Perhaps even in the design of same.
Text should be *quite* readable in ANY format that the monitor supports.
