How do you prevent Vim from showing an at symbol (@) when a line doesn't fit on screen?

Question

In Vim, when I have a line that can not be entirely shown on screen, the line appears as an at symbol "@" all the way down to the bottom of the screen. For example, if I have a file as such:

1 Hello World
2 Really long sentence 
  that doesn't fit on 
  one line.

And I am at the beginning of the document, with a screen height of 3 lines, Vim shows the following:

1 Hello World
@
@

I would rather have Vim show the following:

1 Hello World
2 Really long sentence
  that doesn't fit on

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Add set display+=lastline to your ~/.vimrc

From :help 'display':

lastline        When included, as much as possible of the last line
                in a window will be displayed.  When not included, a 
                last line that doesn't fit is replaced with "@" lines. 

Answer 2

:set display=lastline will make it look like this:

2 Really long sentence
  that doesn't fit @@@
