While it's better than the CRT setting (on an LCD), it's still not as clear as Vista. Your sample doesn't show Vista and Mac LCD setting side by side and if you did that it would be quite obvious which one is superior in terms of readability.</p> <p>Yes the Mac is more faithful to the font size and typography, but that's only valid if you intend to use ridiculously large fonts on a 30" LCD which would defeat the purpose of that large a screen. Apple is essentially prioritizing for desktop publishing when that has nothing to do with surfing the web or doing normal office productivity applications and they’re optimizing for a display technology that does not yet exist.</p> I updated that blog on Friday with the best LCD setting on the Mac.
