  • This is strange - it didn't work on any of my previous computers but on my new 6400 it's worked wonders. :cool:
  • I saved my money. I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon - when I check my settings, I see that my flatscreen TV already looks sharp, sub pixel font rendering is already enabled. It couldn't be any clearer!:rotfl:

    Why waste money on Microsoft rubbish and waste more time and effort needing to tweak settings given strange names like 'Clear Type'?

    Why waste time bumping a ten year old topic discussing a now discontinued operating system for that?

    And here I went out and bought a 4k monitor to improve clarity!

    Cleartype is good if you're using a TV as a computer monitor. Most TV's are not built to be used as monitors, but this can help improve text clarity.

    Interesting that MSE Martin's old threads aren't being automatically locked.

    perhaps thei nfo stated at the time has been proved to be inaccurate, or his 10 yr copyright licence has expired?
