Screen looks blurry

[tal ormanda]

My laptop screen like icons and stuff look blurry, or brighter to me. Any way to fix that? Also any way to adjust how bright a certain color is?

Is the resolution of the display set correctly by any chance? That can make it look blurry, as well as cleartype. That pertains to text only though.

my guess is cleartype

Its set to 1280 x 800 looks fine to me. Could be just the font on my game, wonder why I never saw it like that before.

Silly question, but have to ask anyway... is 1280x800 your native resolution for the laptop? My laptop's native resolution is 1650x1080; if I set it lower than that I get a warning from Windows and the screen is no longer crisp.

I'm assuming you're talking about the laptop screen itself, not an external monitor? Another cause is using a VGA cable instead of DVI to hook up to a monitor.

Just had the LCD replaced by Dell, but it has some big brown spot in the corner so now they have to replace it again. (4th LCD screen)
