"LCD" antialiasing worked fine on trinitron CRTs which had a well defined RGB alignment. Calling it LCD alignment is more confusing.


Sure, that’s fair. Maybe LCD is a bad suggestion. It’s not like I’ll be able to change it, but just for fun, is there a better term that isn’t confusing? Because subpixel and especially greyscale seem pretty confusing.


I agree that greyscale anti-aliasing doesn't seem like the right term at all.

Perhaps, subpixel addressed anti-aliasing vs whole-pixel addressed anti-aliasing.
