Re: [OT] Question about a TFT Monitor

Some fonts may be better than others. Some monitors may be
better than others. You may just have to select and use
other default fonts.

Just be sure to set the graphics so the refresh rate is
correct (60-80 Hz) and the resolution is set at the native
resolution, check the monitor description.
