Using ClearType Tuner in Windows 7

In XP there was an important Power toy created to enable ClearType for users of LCD screens. Now it’s standard in Windows 7, but you may not know about it. So let’s take a look.

Access Clear Type in Windows 7

Click the Start Menu and type “cleartype” into the search box and press Enter.
By default, it should be enabled, but if not just check the box to enable it.

You can enable it for 2 or more monitors. Or you could select an individual one if it works best for one but not another. Some people might want it turned off if they have a CRT and a LCD monitor for example.

Go through the wizard and choose the resolution that works best for your monitor.

Pick the text that looks the best.

Almost done here!

Above is a neat setting that you may not knew about that already exists in Windows 7, and it can definitely help you get the best look of the text on each screen if you’re using different monitors! You may have to experiment with some different settings to get what works best for you.
