Has anyone else noticed how beautiful the display looks with Tiger? I am using a Al 15" 1.25GHz Powerbook, and I swear my display has never looked so good. The icons seem crisper, even within Safari. Fonts looks smoother. Even the Apple button on the top left seems better. Am I just imagining this, or has anyone else noticed?

If you think Tiger does wonders for your LCD display, wait til you try ScreenCleaner Pro.

I honestly can't tell the difference on either one of my 3 macs... I wish I could.. it sure would be nice to get a instant difference for your $129 other than the underlying improvements... but short answer.. no.

I just tried it.. pretty cool how that "rock" looking thing, I guess it's a towel comes on and does the scrub... It's hard to believe that my screen was that out of wack as a 6 month old monitor... I wonder how this software works?

Holy crap! That program is fantastic!! My screen now looks even better! I must admit that towel scared the crap out of me when it started sweeping the screen...

umm, yeah...

actually, ScreenCleanerPro gradually puts a gray film over the screen before scrubbing it away. don't believe me? quit the program about 5 minutes into the process. could have been a neat screen saver, but instead was just an april fools' day prank.

I wonder if the program isn't some kind of joke, in that I wonder if the program doesn't slowly (so slow it's hard to detect) doesn't reduce the gamma of your screen, then all of a sudden the towel flies out and fixes it?
