When I first installed
Google Chrome on my
Lenovo IdeaPad 100S I was surprised with how bad some web pages looked. Specifically - the text in certain web sites was the problem, it came up all pixelated and looked quite ugly.
I knew the laptop screen wasn't the best and compared to my Mac's
Retina display it's basically a stone age monitor, but I still wouldn't accept the terrible text rendering in
Chrome. After a bit of research it turned out that by turning off
text antialiasing it was possible to improve text display quality.
To disable antialiasing, in
Chrome, navigate to
chrome://flags. Then look for
'LCD text anti-aliasing' and set it to
Disabled.
Making this change on my
100S made a huge difference.
