Which (non apple) external display that works flawlessly with rMBP do you recommand?

[YSY]

I'm currently using Dell U2412M and I'm having difficulties with the fonts rendering. I get blurry fonts on OSx and clear fonts when viewing the same pages on a windows 7 machine (runs on a VM on my rMBP).

I've tried to fix it with no luck -

here is another comparison picture (the upper part is win7 on VM and the lower is chrome on OSx (latest)).

I would like to buy a new non apple display and hopefully solve my problem, which do you recommend?

Thanks!

I have a dell ultra-sharp and it works great. They have a few sizes, I went with the 24" after sending back the 27" (it was just too massive).

Good luck

EDIT: Just realized you already have the same monitor...guess I don't have or don't notice the issues you have with it.

which cable do you use to connect the external display? haven't you noticed a difference in how fonts look on your retina display and on your external display?

I use a HDMI to DVI.

And of course it will not look as good as your rMBP, it has about 90-100ppi(pixels per inch) whereas the rMBP has ~220ppi I believe. That's roughly double the amount. PPI is what contributes to "crispness" of an image.

fonts are not images. the fact that the font on the win7 machine (VM on OSx) looks the same as they appear on the retina should indicate that they should look the same when you view them through an external display without the retina (less ppi).
