Thanx
People tend to use laptop screens a lot closer, so they can get away with higher DPI.
If you put a 150 DPI display on the desktop, most people couldn't read the tiny fonts.
Windows Controls won't fix it. The big problem is still content. Most Windows applications will switch into zoom mode if you set windows to Larger (150%) display to increase Font visibility.
So instead of more detailed fonts rendered with more pixels, the whole applications gets zoomed, you get the low res fonts simply blown up and blurry.
It is a total mess.
Wern't windows fonts vector based? Or am I thinking of Photoshop, lol?
Multiple revisions exist - production stopped in 2005, when IBM left the LCD panel joint venture (IDtech). And even then the display quality would be better than what LG does today.Though that monitor is even 11 years old now.
In theory the blurry, scaled up legacy apps shouldn't look worse on a high DPI screen than they do now on a ~100DPI screen though.

On the other side, i've seen some higer ppi laptops and cleartype looks fantastic on them. It is clear insted of blurry, and fonts look much nicer, of course.
If there are no plans for higher ppi desktop monitors, i'm getting a new laptop or even iPad or something, believe it or not. I need something to real clear text on.
Thanx for your answers, btw.
You can turn off cleartype if you really don't like it.

You can, it is just that Windows 7 oddly doesn't do it when you your in the cleartype tuner and turn off cleartype. That only affects about half the fonts.
The real disable setting is in a completely different place: This should be a bug IMO.
But if you want to really turn off cleartype completely and get sharp edge fonts:
Control Panel -> System.
->Performance Information and Tools
->Adjust Visual Effects
uncheck: Smooth edges of screen fonts
Apply - Enjoy Sharp edged fonts!
To my knowledge it affects everything that doesn't have it's own controls for cleartype (such as internet explorer). The other setting you are talking about is anti aliasing and has nothing to do with cleartype.

There's no way.

Internet explorer has independent settings for cleartype so that you can enable it in IE but have it off for the system (if you'd like that), thought it was on by default - at least earlier. Anyway, I don't use IE but one should be aware that there are applications that have it's own settings for cleartype and anti aliasing.
