Yet many of us turn off ClearType because the subpixel artifacts are worse (subjectively) than the increase in resolution.

Ironically I feel that subpixel rendering works better (and becomes worthwhile) in high-dpi displays where the artifacts aren't as noticeable.

On Windows, subjectively, it works OK for a range of resolutions: 15.6", 13.3", 4.5" FullHD, 22" 1200p, and 27" 4k.

I also have 8" 1280x800 windows tablet which doesn't look good regardless on the setting but it was very cheap, something like $120.
