There is certainly a taste specificity, but no sight specificity. I must admit none of the laptops at home are very new, and at work I still use the 2 monitors I received when I arrived 8 years ago.

I like my fonts sharp (and pixelated if required) and I truly think e.g. Verdana 8 and 10 are a marvel of legibility, without antialiasing but with hinting, as explained below or in the font-howto.

There is one of my daughter's laptop, Windows 10, where I never succeeded in having the fonts right, whichever Cleartype setting or without Cleartype. This is so disappointing when tech that used to work so good gets broken.
