    I recently changed my monitor to its native resolution. It now seems that when creating an email in OE, there is a slight reddish tint in some letters in words and it isn't as clear as it used to be before changing the resolution.

    Any thoughts? I'll appreciate them

    Did you go UP or Down in res size?
    I'm guessing you went down in size and aren't getting as clear of a screen.

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I went down in size. Are there any adjustments I can make?

    pkl--Any reason why you went to the native resolution after running at a different one, which seems to have pleased you more?
    I run at lower than native resolution since I like the size of everything better. Never had any problems.
    P.S. Some monitors may have a convergence setting (probably among the other settings on the front panel) which may help the situation you describe. Do you have a user's manual?

    No real reason....just thought it was better to run it at its native resolution. Maybe not! What do you suggest as a resolution?

    I've moved your thread to a more appropriate forum, & changed the title too.

    pkl--
    I cannot answer that with a specific (because I have no information about your monitor), but if you were happy with the earlier resolution, then go back to it. My experience is that "native resolution" is not quite as important as the monitor maker would suggest.
