Screen Smudged!!??

by crook • 30 Jul 2010, 20:31 • Journals
Anything displayed on my screen (19inch crt) looks smudged. Like ink which has been rubbed out. I've had it before and managed to fix it, but I really can't seem to think of the solution atm. Any thoughts? It's mainly around letters and symbols.

"Ink" which has been rubbed out from a "stick"?

Does cleartype text do that?
If so, where do I disable it?

in rare cases it's a shitty cable, or sometimes when you stashed it away somewhere in the basement it'll be fucked.. also refresh rates and gfx drivers could be the cause. Lower the res or sth, dunno ;p


e: also clean your screen XD
