Hardware, Embedded Systems It's been 12 years since I got my first PC. Back then, it came with a 14" 800x600 CRT monitor. But times change. Now, for just $250 you can get a 22" LCD monitor with a 1680x1050 resolution! Geeks.com were very kind to send us one of their LCD monitors, the Viewsonic VX2235wm, for a review. We tested the monitor under Windows, Linux and the Mac and here is what we found.

How does sub-pixel font rendering look on the vertical monitor? Does the vertical rgb pixel component arrangement make the text a bit fuzzier than in horizontal mode or is there no visible difference in your experience?

With LCD panels, each pixel stacks the RGB shutters so there is no equivilent issue to the variation of RGB arrangments with CRT phosphors.

Are your sure? The reason I asked about the vertical oriented LCD was because of this page:

And I can tell you for sure that both the Thinkpad I'm typing this on and my MacBook at home have that same pixel component arrangement.
