Vista - blurred fonts in Vista

Hi,
just got a new computer with Vista installed, and ran into problems
with the display. All the texts are blurry, even though the same
monitor showed the fonts nice and crisp under XP and my old and crappy
comp. I have a HP L1940 LCD monitor and NVIDIA Geforce 8600 GT card. I
checked the font smoothing, it is set on Cleartype as it should for
LCDs? Changing the smoothing only made the situation even worse. I did
what I could with the monitor settings but only tweaking clock phase
helped marginally. The resolution is set on the recommended native
value. What's wrong and how can I fix it?

You've already covered ClearType and Native Resolution...

Have you double-checked your settings in the nVidia Control Panel?

In article <1df7d66c-bd39-4af1-8530-
8d3ae9ea002a@xxxxxx>, TerhiYP@xxxxxx says...Try the ClearType tuner on-line:

IE is required.

They mention a download that lets you run it locally, but it only works
in XP.

Go into your NVIDI control panel > Display > Change flat panel scaling and
switch setting number 2 ("When using a resolution lower than my display's
native resolution...") and select a different option.

"Use my display's built-in scaling"
or
"Do not scale"

Usually work best, it depends on your display. But either way, this should
alleviate the blurry problem.

The reason why this affects it, even though your Current resolution may
match the Native resolution (ie both are set to the same resolution) is that
the true native resolution may not be reported to Windows with 100% accuracy
and/or the native resolution of the monitor is not quite exactly what it is
stated in being. There are some inconstancies here and there.

Hope this helps!
