New macbook with DELL SP2208WFP display
I just got a new new macbook with leopard installed and it works quite well. I am going to use it as a virtual desktop except for when I need to take it somewhere - meaning that I will connect a mouse, keyboard and monitor. Someone told me Dell monitors are reasonably priced and look great.
I connected the DELL SP2208WFP to it today and got it to work after a reasonable amount of trial and error. Here's the problem. The text is very pixelated. Graphics look nice, icons look fine and colors are good but the text (menus, emails, etc) is full of jaggies and I have tried everything with no changes. I went to Sys Prefs -> Appearance and played with font smoothing. I played with screen resolution. Apple tried their best but nothing seemed to work. Dell tried but they can't help with a mac.
Any ideas? Any recommendations for an inexpensive 22" (the Dell was $300) or larger monitor? Not doing anything too difficult on the mac. Write letters, spreadsheets, send emails, surf the net - mostly straight business functions.
Any help or recommendations? Thanks.
