Doesn't HiDPI "Retina display" prove the point; ClearType won when it comes to rendering. Due to patents, the solution was to quadruple the number of pixels, making subpixel hinting and anti-aliasing mostly redundant.
I am a bit confused, as I don't think it proves the point. HiDPI is so much easier on the eye than subpixel rendering. HiDPI screens look closer to print than to 96 DPI Windows 7.
Maybe that's just me b/c I always found the color fringes irritating, but I am very happy that 4K displays are now more or less standard.
