Cleartype for S-PVA panels

Writer Sophia Terry

I just purchased a Lenovo L220X monitor for my Windows 7 box. There is an older 17" LCD as a second monitor.

The problem is that this monitor is a S-PVA display (1900x1200) and Windows Cleartype which I normally am a fan of is making the text very heavy and slightly blurry. My second monitor is a cheap TN style panel, and if I drag this very paragraph between the two monitors, the cheaper one is easier to read. Google turns up a couple posts that turn up some info about why this happens, but I have yet to see any constructive advice about what to do about it. Turning it off completely is unquestionably worse; I've run the tuner tool and it hasn't helped.

OS is Windows 7.

What can I do?

You might want to give the Microsoft ClearType Tuner a shot - you can get it on Microsoft's PowerToys for Windows XP page.
