M4400 - WUXGA vs WUXGA RGB LED...

I've seen that people with 2CCFL screen have the same ID...

 

Sure, it only refers to the LCD panel itself. The difference is the backlight, but the panel is the same. The backlight is actually what allows for better screen quality compared to the CCFL screen.

At the time I'm writing this, the images still haven't been approved by NotebookReview. As a workaround, I now additionally uploaded them to imageshack.us:

Thank you for the images Christoph!

I will try adjusting my Nvidia panel settings.

Could you attach a image running Dreamweaver with Arial and Cleartype ON? On the following images you can see my red "l" letters, and cuts "/".

 

I don't have Dreamweaver.

Does this only occur in Dreamweaver or is it a global thing? Have a closer look (click to enlarge):

The lower "l" isn't more red, it's actually less green which makes it look more red.

EDIT:
I just had a brilliant Idea that I should have had much earlier. Here are my ClearType settings straight from the registry, cleartype-M4400-SEC5443.reg :

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 
 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] 
"FontSmoothing"="2" 
"FontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000000 
"FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001 
"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002

LCD Screen Striping BGR:


With BGR I get more blurry text...

 

Mine:

 

Is that a font size of 10? Mine was 10, and while your font is exactly as high as mine, it's much wider and some letters look different.

Your text is the bright one, mine is the dark one.

EDIT: turns out your text was actually a size of 11, I made a detailed comparison now:

The lower text rows are yours.
This comparison shows no difference in ClearType. So I can only come to the conclusion that this either has to do with DreamWeaver, or (in case that it is a problem that's also existent in other programs) some kind of mysterious Vista or font weirdness. But one thing is for sure:

This is definitely not what it's meant to look like.

 

Hello Christoph!

There's no doubt that Cleartype works fine. However, I think that my bad experience with fonts are probably caused by the brilliant colours of the screen.

Yes, Cleartype shows "colours" to rendering fonts, but the question is: how much brilliant/intense do you see these colours? It's probable that in my screen these colours are more intense than yours and caused bad experience with fonts.

Perhaps I can correct/reduce this adjusting the colours through nvidia panel... or perhaps it's a problem of oversaturated colours?

I attach some photos where you can see the greens and reds of my screen.

 

I have tried to turn off Cleartype: colours around fonts disappear, but I'm still uncomfortable reading text...

I'm thinking about ask for a change to 2CCFL matte screen (my initial option). What do you think?
