It's still only 224 pixels per inch (ppi), not the 254 ppi of the MBP 16". Back when Apple had subpixel RGB font antialiasing like Cleartype the 224ppi was fine

It's still only 224 pixels per inch (ppi), not the 254 ppi of the MBP 16". Back when Apple had subpixel RGB font antialiasing like Cleartype the 224ppi was fine but 224ppi text doesn't look sharp with grayscale antialiasing. It's not without good reason that an iPad Retina display is 264ppi. I switched from Mac after Apple removed Cleartype-like font rendering because my external 4K display no longer had as sharp of text as Windows+Linux.
- nickpp 4y agoExcellent observation. But I will add that it seems to me that Microsoft also removed ClearType in Windows 11 as well… at least partially.
- needcleartype64 4y agoIt's not enabled by default, but can be enabled in 30 seconds by (1.) pressing the Win key, (2.) starting to type "adjust cleartype...", (3.) clicking "Adjust Cleartype Text", (4.) clicking "Turn on Cleartype". One can then fine tune it but the defaults work great.
