How to improve text visibility on a Windows 10 laptop or tablet

Lenovo Yoga Book convertible tablet

As much for the daily work with documents, as for the web browsing, the use of the social networks or even the books and electronic items, reading is one of the most common uses on a tablet or laptop with Windows 10. Our interaction mediated by a screen, with others and with the world, is frequently textual. For this reason, our eyes will appreciate good visibility and a good outline of the letters, something easy to achieve by setting Cleartype.

Many of you will be familiar with ClearType technology: it is a system that Microsoft introduced in Windows XP and that smoothed out letters to make text easier to read on LCD panels. Since then, monitors have improved a lot and tablets, which have plagued the market, sometimes use laminated crystals that represent an improvement in the simply brutal experience.

However, there is always scope to get more convenient benefits and in this case it is no exception.

First of all, make sure that we work with a native resolution

All terminals leave the factory using their native resolution. However, when running a video game it may be that it has been modified and remained in a lower figure.

Now comes a series of boxes with text in which we can choose which one best suits our vision. Not all users will be the same, and sometimes the difference is really minimal, so we can play a little with different distances, perspectives y approaches to see which one convinces us the most. What we are shown are the same letters with more or less color in certain pixels to accentuate or soften their outline. As we say, a good choice will help us to read and, in general, to use our tablet more comfortably.
