With AA text on a normal-DPI LCD screen, it never feels like I'm focussed on the screen properly. With no hard edges and no sharp corners, my eyes can't seem to find the right setting. Whatever I do, it just always feels slightly wrong. Blurry edges just don't make me think that something is smooth - they make me think I haven't focussed properly. Drives me nuts.
I wouldn't mind so much, but over time people seem to keep taking the option of a pixelly display away, and when anybody complains, they're told they don't know what they're seeing through their own eyes.
Fortunately, AA text + retina display, I like, because the pixels are too small for the blurriness to be visible, and things look sharp again. So roll on more of that please. (High-DPI, I mean. Not AA. We have more than enough AA to be getting on with.)
- marssaxman 11y agoInteresting. Thanks for sharing. High-DPI displays are clearly the right long term solution. It was amazing to use one for the first time - I couldn't see the individual pixels anymore, and it was disconcerting in a really good way. It's like a bit of Hollywood fakery brought to life.
