I changed my setting to Clear Type and it did make a lot of difference on my
desktop icon fonts but the font on everything else (Outlook Express, Word,
etc.) still seem a little blurred. Is there another setting someplace to
help with that? Thanks

Revisit the page I posted, click on and read all of the topics under
"Settings" and "LCD vs. CRT Displays".

FYI: There is a downloadable version of the ClearType Tuner available on
the PowerToys for XP page. You can run it anytime - don't need to be
connected to the internet to use it:

Thanks, I tried it and it did help with the blurry type.

I have noticed that some fonts seem to be worse than others. In addition, I
am finding that I must maintain a certain distance from the monitor so that
I can focus properly with my glasses just as if I was reading from paper.

It isn't the fall that hurts

It's the sudden stop

I wear glasses too so I thought that maybe some of it was my eyes. I
changed the font in my e-mail to that Verdana font and that seems to make it
somewhat better. I went through the ClearType tuner and it is somewhat
better but now it seems that the type is almost bold. I guess I chose the
wrong type. I will try to run it again later on. Thanks for the info
though because I was regretting getting the flat screen monitor because of
the blurry type.

You're welcome, Phyllis. I use ClearType too but find that I need to use
the tuner to get it "just right."
