Are LCD screens any good for CADD?

Is this technology up to the task of accurately displaying CADD drawings?
May some LCDs be better than others?

 

I use one and find it acceptable. The only hinderance was when the text
editor box would come up. The letters, if not an arial based font, would
not be clearly visible. Somehow, for reasons I don't quite know, my text
editor fond became arial and the problem has been cured. I believe it has
to do with Tools>Options>Files> and the font and alternate font settings.
Hope this helps.

 

You monitor may not be to blame for that. I have the same problem on my
CRT, but I can't change the font because of the standards I have to use...
Any suggestions out there?

 

Are you using XP or 2000 by any chance? (Might apply to other OS's as
well). By default (I think) windows renders founds using
antialiasing, smoothing the appearance of fonts. This works fine with
fonts that have an actual thickness (such as arial), But works
horribly with line fonts. This can be turned off.

Under XP is under Control
Panel->System->Advance->Performance->Settings->Visual Effects->Smooth
edges of screen fonts.

Yessssssssssssssss!!
Thank you, Tim!
I have been annoyed by that for months now.

I find that, for some reason recently, the font in my text view changed to
Arial, from romans. I still get romans or whatever I"m using in the
drawing, but the editor uses arial. Arial shows up much better.
Not sure how I did that.

 

Tim,

Your a god for solving this one for me.

Thanks.
