1. alt f4 + enter.
2. beat your monitor with a hammer.
3. give it to me.

Why don't you tell us your resolution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[phantomracoon]

1380x768

 

[LordPhoenix]

are you sure you don't mean 1024 x 768?

Go to Windows Desktop.

Right Click-->Properties-->Settings-->Advanced-->Font Size : (mine's 96 dpi).

-Or try changing your resolution
-Or try and hold CTRL+Scroll Up/Down in Browser
-Or I don't know.

 

[Gnoad]

I hope you mean 1024x768. Also try bumping up fonts to large size, thats what I do.

 

[phantomracoon]

no its in widescreen

 

[LordPhoenix]

well do what i said and play around with the font sizes.

 

[phantomracoon]

ive tried everyone. NONE works!

 

[LordPhoenix]

no you didn't.

step 4 - give it to me

 

[DaveSimmons]

What is the brand and model of your monitor?

In another thread you said it was LCD with a native resolution of 1024x768.

If that is true, you can't make it work properly in widescreen, even if Windows will let you set your desktop that way. You must change your desktop back to 1024x768.

 

[phantomracoon]

darn. Why not? That really blows cuz the stuff i c is the the middle.

 

[nick1985]

step 1. hit yourself on the head with a hammer
step 2. ....
step 3. anandtech is happy.

using non-natvie resolution?

LCD will only work best at native resolution. 1024 x 768 in your situation.

 

[GrumpyMan]

Do some research on your components before you buy them. Get a crt.

That would be 1280x768 for widescreen. Why don't you tell us what monitor you have there? Or link to it. Many LCDs have a native resolution of 1024x768 or 1280x1024.

 

[phantomracoon]

its a ll-m17w1u

 

[Steve]

It's a what?


Can you give us a brand name, e.g. ViewSonic, Samsung, etc.?

 

[phantomracoon]

sorry, its a sharp

 

[Steve]

Couldn't find that exact model number - is this what you have?

 

[nineball9]

Try ClearType. It comes with Windows: Display Properties - Appearance, Effects, select Use The Following Method to Smoothe Edges Of Screen Fonts, click ClearType in the box below.

If you don't like it, you can always switch back.

 

[phantomracoon]

nope, not that monitor and still no luck.

If you could be just a little bit more vague and non dscriptive😉 We may just stumble across the solution

 

[erikistired]

he's using an lcd with a native resolution of 1024x768 in a widescreen resolution. this is the 2nd or 3rd thread he's started and he doesn't pay attention to any responses. at this point i really think he's just trolling, but that's me.

If it's an LCD, you MUST use its native resolution. Anything other than that would suck very much, and pretty much make text illegible. That's your problem right there. Problem solved. Case closed.
