Easier still!
Wouldn\'t the easiest and best way to improve the quality of an LCD display simply be to run at the display\'s native resolution? Anything else requires pixel interpolation and produces the kind of moire patterns you are describing.
Maybe not easier still!
Obviously, it's worse at less-than-native. But, even at native resolution, for analog use, you *still* have to adjust "image lock" on a Samsung (I'm sure there are other names for the same adjustment on other brands). Maybe its's better to have a digital output, but some don't have the DVI out and some Samsungs don't have a DVI in. You also have to fiddle with the other adjustments, coarse, fine, position, whatever. It can improve the text quality a great deal. I do it with font smoothing disabled, or very small non-smoothed text and lines on the screen (www.MSN.com is good for this, if nothing else, 'cause the type is so small at 1280x1024) - it appears to be better if you shoot to have the bitmap or non-smoothed text be distinct, and let font smoothing take care of itself.
cleaner print, but smaller
Right now in OS X the higher the screen resolution, the smaller everything appears on the screen. Some day Apple will change this so that no matter what resolution you select you will still see the display at the proper size. For example rulers in AppleWorks, Word, Photoshop, etc. will be the same size on screen as in real life.
Easier still!
It doesn't work this way on an analog (VGA) connection... the LCD screen is "emulating" a CRT, in a way that you can adjust the width and height independently of the grid on the display. That is, each pixel in Mac OS X may be approximated across two or four actual pixels on the display. This makes things fuzzy and is not good. |
