I just learned something, thanks to your suggestion. Aside, this is
why I ask questions on this list. There is always someone else out
there that has more knowledge or has looked at things differently.
So...
I'm using a Dell XPS17 laptop with the proprietary nVidia driver. (Had
trouble with nouveau.)
I'm driving the U3011 (2560x1600) via the Display Port.
If I start a KDE session in twinview mode, according to the nVidia
configuration GUI, under X screen, my resolution is 128 x 130 dots per
inch. I find those numbers a bit odd.
However, if I disable the laptop display, (1920x1080) which I don't
really need anyway, the nVidia configuration GUI tells me my
resolution is 75x75 DPI.
I think this change alone increased the crispness of displayed text.
However, in KDE-> System Settings-> Application Appearance -> Fonts,
it has Force fonts DPI and the 2 options it gives are Disabled, 96 DPI
and 120 DPI. I Disabled it.
In the nvidia-settings GUI, I also enabled Syncing to the U3011
Display Device, 2x Anti Aliasing, 2x Ansitropic Filtering and Texture
Sharpening.
Is there anything else I can do ?
