A little late but a happy new year to everybody !

To start this year two tips on “screen-ergonomics”.

1. Turn down the contrast (and intesinty) on your monitor. Especially LCD monitors produce a very bright image. Which does tire your eyes very much without you noticing it. My opticien (specs shop) advised me to give your eyes the time to adjust to the image instead of turning up the monitor's contrast. Over the last two weeks I have turned it lower and lower, step by step. And it really does feel different at the end of the day.
2. Switch on Cleartype. You'll find it under display properties | Appearance | Effects | Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonsts. It really does make a difference (on an LCD). Default is is switched of... I found this tip in my spam box. Windows and .NET magazine again.
