1) why jpg? use png
2) I always used standard font smoothing; cleartype is way too blurry, and cleartweak or cleartype tuner don’t help at all
3) why so small fonts; in order to easily compare your examples you should show examples with bigger fonts
4) I can’t see a difference between screenshot 1 and 2; most likely, there is no standard font smoothing activated because the font is too tiny

Why do you use .jpg format for such kind of pictures? Moreover, with such high compression level? What do you think we can distiguish on it? Very unqualified job :-(

If you use cleartype with a video player like VLC, you’ll end up with terrible image quality when playing videos.

ClearType makes my head hurt.
Unfortunately, setting it to 1000 (the lowest value possible) didn’t help either, so I’ll stick to standard smoothing.

I really don’t understand it. I got good LCD (20″ samsung 205BW) and clear type is blured for me. I use standard smoothing and it is the sharpest of all smothing types.
