That's good, because usually in this kind of debate there's an undercurrent of "I've been using X for decades (and so know it inside out). When I try Y, anything that differs from X is objectively wrong"
Which is generally all the Mac os just works statements are in my experience.
Maybe you're refering to subpixel rendering, which Windows still has, but has ben phased out on Mac with the introduction of retina displays? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering#OS_X

I have an LG ultrawide with native res 3840x1600. Text is very blurry at that resolution though, so I use SwitchRes X to turn it down to the highest HiDPI resolution and it looks great.
I agree that it shouldn't be this way though, I'd have preferred to set the native res and be done with.
The monitor is a ultrawide LG that works perfectly on windows. A Google for "blurry text external monitor MacBook Pro" turns up many people with the same issue (edit: it's a 1440p monitor)
Thanks for the finder tip, that will help.
