Apple LCD TEST: Please perform if you have one

appdezine

Powerbook or LCD users:



In the menu, does the "i" in "File" appear a bit thicker than the "i" in "Edit", and the "l" in "File" appear a bit thicker than the "l" in "Help"? You have to look really close at the screen.



This is the case on my Powerbook and Apple Cinema screens, running OS 10.2.1 with the Radeon 9000 Pro.



Unless you all see it the same way, I may have a bad card.



Please post your findings and state your equiptment, card and OS.

It's the same for me (Apple Studio display, Radeon 7500, OS X 10.2.3) although it's barely noticeable. I'm sure it's not a fault with your graphics card. On a CRT I expect you wouldn't notice it at all due to the lack of sharpness.

looks like that on my 800 tibook too. Are you sure this is a problem? What's werid is, they're still different sizes if you zoom in.

Heh.... that's funny. I never noticed it before. In Safari on a 15" LCD iMac (GeForce2MX), the i in File, View, and Window is thick. In Edit, and History, it's thin.



Darn you for pointing it out. Now that I notice it, it kinda bugs me

The "i'"s in "File," "View," AND "Window" appear bigger than the ones in "Edit" AND "History." Running 10.2.3... <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

I'm sure you can post all of your LCD info/questions in your <a href="http://forums.appleinsider.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=002061"; target="_blank">original thread</a>.



Thanks.
