Is there a way change display resolution without losing text sharpness?

Is there a way to reduce the resolution of my 14.1" WSXGA+ display without losing sharpness?
If I reduce the resolution of the display,it makes text edges are no longer clean and crisp. Thanks!

LCDs give the best diplay when run at their native res.for ur disp 1280*800 is the native res.
if u run at any other res than this u'll lose display sharpness.

I surely want to reduce Resolution , default is 1440x900. and its definitely small.

Is this the driver problem with LCD's ...? or it can't be rectified at all(Hardware issues.)

Please expand, how can it be of help.

The native resolution is kinda hard coded into lcd controller firmware. So anything above or below that res. will be all distorted. You can do nothing about that. Why didn't you choose an lcd witha lower resolution?

Huh ?? Which OS ?? There is option under Windows Xp / Vista which gives you power to enlarge size of ICON / any windows text or any such if you are having problem with reading, reducing the resolution is certainly not the way to do it...

Yes ClearType helped.

I guess no point of discussing then

^^^^Hey, Arsenal_gunners I said that Cleartype effect helped, as in the aliasing of text was reduced. so its kind of fine, but still if somebody has another solution, i am open to that. []

By Flow poster, meant to say that 'just replying threads without reading completely'. and then writing a "Huh?"
