Hey all!

I have a 2008 white MacBook.
Recently, the screen was showing white spots on it, so I turned it in before my warranty expired. They fixed it at no cost, they installed a new display.

The display seemed fine to me, but the text was a lot more pixellated and harder to read. I fixed this by putting calibrating the display and setting the font smoothing to "strong".

But it seems to me that the screen still shows things differently than my previous one. The edges on some fonts are a little blurred when they are large. When drawing things this also looks different.

I also found out that I have a Philips/LG screen.

Is there a way to fix this issue? Change some other AA setting or something like that? Or is this just because it is a different screen?
It is possible that my old display was more blurry, so everything seemed more smoothed?

Thanks!
