I bought and installed windows 8 pro on my desktop computer when it was offered as an upgrade from Microsoft. Previously I was running XP pro and 7 Ultimate and am still using the same monitor. Under XP and 7, the text everywhere looked very clear and readable. Under 8, no matter what I have tried, the text looks odd - kind of light in some parts of a letter, dark in others, like a bad cleartype. I have tried everything I can think of, different monitor resolutions, I have a newer lcd monitor and even tried to change the refresh rates from 60 to 75 Hertz even though that shouldn't be necessary, I have turned cleartype on and off and tried different settings in the wizard, and nothing changes this text problem everywhere. It looks equally bad in any browser as well as the folders, desktop, etc.. If anyone could help me with some other ideas to improve this I would greatly appreciate it. I would have no problem with a 3rd party solution either thank you.
