Ensuring your screen is up to snuff is easier than you may think. Sure,
you can go crazy and drop a month’s salary on professional calibration
hardware, but that would be insane when you could get so many more
interesting gadgets for that price. No, it may surprise you, but it’ll cost
you nothing to get the basics in order.
First, make sure your monitor is positioned correctly. Generally,
you want the top edge of the screen to be level with your
sight line when looking dead ahead. Some TN-based panels may look a bit washed out positioned like this, in which
case you should raise the screen until the upper and lower
halves can be viewed as clearly as possible.
Ambient lighting also plays a major part in monitor visibility, so wherever possible, try to minimize onscreen reflections and perform any calibration tests in your typical
viewing conditions.
At the risk of stating the obvious here, make sure your
monitor is set to its native maximum resolution. Back in
the day, your bulky old CRT monitor would look crisp at
various resolutions, but setting an LCD to anything less
than max res results in blurry antialiasing as the monitor struggles to expand the unexpectedly low pixel count
coming from your graphics card to fill the available
screen space.
