Re: [libreoffice-users] Screen tearing in LibreOffice

I read the post and did not see this question.
What Windows version are you using?
What video card/drivers do you have?
What resolution is the monitor set to?

I agree with the original poster about squinting.  I use a 24 inch 
monitor at full 1080 HD.  A lot of the web sites have really, really, 
small print at that resolution.

I was wondering if you reduce the "zoom" to 100% and then reduce the 
monitor/adapter to a smaller one, will that help with the "text running 
together".

Maybe having the monitor at 800x600 or 1024x768 might help when using a 
large display.  My desktop with the 24inch monitor is down for repairs 
so I cannot test this out.  Right now I am using a 15 inch display on my 
laptop.
