Windows Fonts all thin and faded looking in Windows 7
Hi All,
I just got a new laptop. It's a dell like my last one and it is connected to the same docking station, and same 2 monitors as my old one. They both are Windows 7 64-bit. The fonts for things like web browsers, windows explorer and some 3rd party apps are horribly faded looking and really straining on the eyes. The whites are super bright and the thin font makes it harder to see.
I tried to do that "truetype" font thing in control panel and that helps with some of the headers, but most fonts still look horrible even though I chose the darkest option for all of them.
Here are some examples ("old" is from the old laptop where everything looked fine and "new" is from the new one where it all looks faded). All of these screenshots were taken on the same monitor.
So its the same monitors, same version of windows, same font style and type it seems but just thinner and more faded and I can't figure out why. Please help
Thanks
Mike
