[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 961427, member: 24160"] One option you can try is to turn off text smoothing for larger font sizes. I did this when I was connecting my Mac to the TV. System Preferences - Appearance - at the very bottom - I turned off text smoothing for font sizes up to 12 and smaller. Helped some. Play around with that and also with checking and unchecking the LCD font smoothing box. Even had one member notice it when I'd put up screen shots from my MBP screen. Didn't look up that Samsung model, but at 40" and if it's 1080p you may be able to get it to the point where you can get use to it. I am/was using 55"-65" screen sizes and it was just a no go for me at that size and only a 1080 resolution. OS X's font rendering for me, really requires a resolution to match the screen size or it's just too blurry. [/QUOTE]
