DVI and VGA is like night and day

[dman]

I couldn't tell much difference between the two on a system I just recently setup for a client, but, I left it on DVI. I used the vga as an input for her other system while I was xferring files, and both inputs were very clear.

Duh - I know that, but the 1800FP 😛 After reading all of the negative reviews of text quality in the hot deals threads when I bought the 1800FP, I and almost every person who participated in the 500+ posts threads came to the unanimous decision that screen text looked MUCh better with cleartype turned off. It just looks look blurry on this LCD (although it looks gorgeous on most others).

Have you tried using the Cleartype tuner at microsoft.com, and then choosing a bgr display.

PICS!

I agree! 🙂

Went from GeForce MX420 DDR with VGA to GF TI4200 with DVI on my Hitachi 17" monitor....it's so much better than regular VGA....but part may be due to the switching of the cards. DVI is beautiful! 🙂

I also have cleartype off on my 2 1800FPs (both connected via DVI)

My 1901fp cost me 498 shipped. With cleartype activated the screen looks absolutely maginifcent. Great screen...and well worth the cost.
I just activated cleartype now and it makes a word of difference...Thanks!

when i turn on the "typeclear", seems like "anti alias. but only work great on 1280x1024.

when i use it on a 1280x960, text seems more blurry

Use 1280x1024 on the LCD. It's 5:4 not 4:3.
