ClearType triples the horizontal resolution available for rendering text through software so that the result is clearer display of text on a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen with digital interface. But don't let that lead you to believe it's only good on an LCD display! If you have a good quality CRT display, you may also benefit from ClearType. For CRT users it seems a matter of taste, but why don't you try it?

I turned it on and the change is startling on this $300 monitor, especially on small text. It certainly won't make things worse.

That only works on XP machines, right?? Would it would just be a waste of time if one were running 98se?

It's unavailable in anything earlier than XP.
