I heartily second this suggestion. Cleartype isn't for everyone (I would
willingly sacrifice it for an LCD with triple the dots-per-inch) but
until that day, it's usually a worthwhile test.

Windows boots with cleartype off (there may be a way to fix this) then
turns cleartype on just after you enter your userid/password (if your
userid has selected it). It's wonderful to see how the display jumps
into focus when that happens.
