    I use dual monitors; one LCD and one CRT. I like having Cleartype on with the LCD, because I think it makes everything a lot more readable. However, with Cleartype on, text on the CRT is very fuzzy and doesn't really look good.

    Is there any way I can have different Cleartype settings on each?

    Q. Can ClearType be automatically turned off when my laptop is docked and used on a CRT screen?
    A. No. You cannot have different settings for each monitor in a multiple-monitor setup or when docking a laptop.

    Ok, thanks. That's what I figured, but I hoped I was wrong.
