I just bought a 19" HP vs19 LCD display, and the black lettering on gray background is hard to see.  It almost seems like the letters have a white outline before transitioning to gray.  Anyone else have this problem?  All other web sites/color combinations appear fine.

I was using a CRT montor; this is my first LCD.

Try going to the "Display" control panel. Click on the "Appearance" tab, click the "Effects" button, and try changing the way the edges of screen fonts are displayed by choosing "ClearType" instead of "Standard" or vice versa

Make sure you're using the native resolution of the monitor, too.

Only problem I have is that they put that damn "SERVICES" button on top of the "GENERAL" button. Always seem to pass over that button and it drops down over general. Annoying as hell.
