... I didn't say to brag. =P </jk>

Okay, that puts my new monitor to shame, so I'll chalk that up to a 'yes' to HD Monitor... xD

What's your opinion on the fonts, MsRR? Just curious on that, since I'm not sure what they're like on an HD monitor... yet.

I have had issues with the fonts. I don't notice the HD now, but it was HUGE when LU was around.
And BTW I got a GREAT deal on this one.. $127. USD Shipped.

What kind of issues? Are they too small on the large monitor? That's what I'm thinking, but I want a little confirmation.

MTM: Thanks, now I don't feel so bad about my monitor. =P What about you? Do you have any issues with the fonts?

Blade, I am not sure if it was the monitor or windows 7.. It may've actually been windows 7 now that I look back.

Well, what was the problem? I'm simply curious at this point.


Title: Re: Important Computer Question! Take 2
Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on May 02, 2012, 03:40:01 pm
I couldn't get the same size as before.. one was too small the other too big.

I ended up changing the default font..
