Have you considered running your desktop at the panels native
resolution, but increasing the size of the type, changing the typeface
etc. Cleartype satisfies a lot of people, especially with Arial.

You know best what suits your needs, but as you are aware Vista drivers
still need to cook, so more choices today are better than less.

You have what you want visually at the lower resolution (readable,
consistent type), but those settings do not carry to other apps, I'll
assume the type face settings carry through to the other apps (like
Wordpad) at the panels native resolution? Not that that matters since
you don't like how the text looks.

Do you have an NVonline account? Here's a submission link:

http://support.nvidia.com/apps/EndUserSupport/index.asp

However, I'm not sure nvidia's driver suite is where the problem lies,
Have you discovered precisely what is unreadable about the text in that
panel's native resolution? Is it due to the unique placement of the
pixels in the panels manufacture? Is the contrast poor? Is signal
integrity poor? Both DVI and Analog connections can behave differently
(impacting how everything appears) at different resolutions.

Of course, credit to you for probably checking all of that..if so, go
complain! (gently of course, they startle easily)

One of the computer netzines had an article in the last couple of days
about Vista not playing nice with nVidia drivers.

I don't have any problems with the 8xx series
drivers in XP. I can set full-screen 1280x800
with no problems at all. The GD-ASSHOLES
at nVidia did this. I just want a phone number
and a name !

Dude, we are on your side (somewhat) but c'mon you've made your point. Go
kick a puppy or something.
