It happened to me with two Samsung (one LCD , one LED) 22″ monitors. After I have connected them to my MacBook Pro via the MiniDisplay port to VGA adapter, I saw that everything was fine on the bigger screen , apart from the fonts….they looked fuzzy, abnormal, hard to read, not sharp at all !
Here is a way to quickly solve the problem with font smoothing on your Macbook (Pro) external monitor:
Open a Terminal window ( CMD + T and type “terminal” )
Type this into the newly opened Terminal window:
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
The number 2 here corresponds to Medium – Best for Flat Panel. You may also use 1 for light smoothing, and 3 for strong smoothing, as per the original OS X font smoothing options.
Should anyone need to remove the preference, restoring the default, use:
defaults -currentHost delete -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing
I’m watching relaxed a podcast using iTunes right now. I had the opportunity today to get the Windows 7 upgrade for only 30 GBP using my student membership with Northumbria University. For now I have to say no…my current Snow Leopard upgrade seems to be just fine and while I was sharing experiences today with one of my co-workers I decided to wait until my Lenovo X60 with running XP now will get the Win 7 upgrade. The price Microsoft offers to UK students (30 GBP) it’s great I can say, however I’m not sure about how great Windows 7 is. I’m still waiting for proper documented reviews to show up online, not just comments and firefighting between Apple and Microsoft users.
