Vista Tutorial - NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS: Red halo

Using the subject card with a Dell 2007WFP montior and everything looks great
except for black letters. Particularly if the letters are bold there is a
red halo at the edges of the letters.

I've tried various contrast and color adjustments with no improvement.

The is my first LCD monitor. Does this tend to be a problem with LCDs or is
something definitely wrong? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You can download the Microsoft True Type Tuner. Even though it does not
state that it is Vista compatible, I have successfully used it to eliminate
those red halo's from the text in these newsgroups (and elsewhere). It
happens only on LCD monitors, that I have seen, and it really is annoying.

Richard--I found a Microsoft Clear Type Tuner and it works great (as you
stated, it says it not Vista compatible but seems to work). What an
improvement! Many thanks, Herb
