I remember with the DK1 text was a pain to read, I haven't gotten the chance to read anything with the DK2 yet so I was wondering if it was actually possible to just sit down and read something on the dk2. Usually I browse at reddit on my dk1 and its kinda difficult to read (unless I get up close/zoom in with deskope) but its still do-able. By any chance is it actually readable?
Depends on the program / game. You can read browser text using something like virtual desktop, IF the text is big enough. You can read text in game, IF its big enough. Some games use a font that just hates the DK2, like DCS world in-game. Cant see a thing, but its all fixable. Basically in DK1 you needed a massive font to read it. In DK2, you just need a less massive font.
Like all things, it could bear improving, but its workable.
