I was apprehensive when I placed the order, and I must say on the
whole I am happy with what I got. It's not going back in the box and
home to Dell ... unless it blows up some time the next 2 weeks.

And by now I have managed to stuff everything up so badly, trying to
get powerdvd to look half way right, that the even text is blurry with
hard white shadows.
Ye gods.

Try to use the display with it's native resolution, should be
2560x1600. Increase the font size so that the text is more readable,
the higher resolution should make the fonts easier to read as there
are more pixels to render more detail.
If you don't use the display at native resolution, scaling is done.
The scaling factor for 1920x1200 would be 3/4 (0.75), how well this is
scaled depends on the quality of the scaler. Depending on your
graphics card and driver, you can let the panel do the scaling or the
graphics card will do the scaling. It depends on the filter they use,
bilinear, bicubic, or something else, how good quality scaling you
going to get. But what matters is that when you have the software
rendering your fonts or video, each pixel that is renderer cannot be
accurately presented to you on the display because every pixel on the
display will have color blended from multiple pixels in the memory of
your graphics card's framebuffer.
From my experience, text looks pretty awful on non-native resolutions
because of aliasing and/or other filtering artifacts. Just use the
native resolution and if text is too small, make the font bigger. You
will still have big fonts, just more detail. This makes the text
*easier* to read for most human beings. Good luck with the monitor, I
got older 2006 vintage model of the 30" dell, and I ain't trading it
away as it's a great display (cons: I don't have HDCP so no pressure
to upgrade to Blu-Ray or soon-to-be-dead HD-DVD, but hey, maybe that
saved me a lot of pain so that's great LOL)
