Thanks for looking into this in such detail.

I was able to dig up a similar laptop to test on. I think the primary 
difference is pixels per inch. Testing on my 27" monitor at 2560x1440 yields 
~100ppi. My laptop is running closer to 160ppi. It will be interesting to see 
if this gets tested on lower ppi displays. They may be getting scarce in the 
wild.

Do you find the text dark enough? On my machine the word "Accordion" is 
noticeably darker than "AnchorPane". Heading lines like "Accordion" use 
grayscale and the rest use LCD. I was having a hard time getting black-on-white 
LCD text to look dark. The NATURAL rendering modes tends to spread the stems 
out across more pixels and none of them are particularly dark. The GDI 
rendering modes produce thinner stems with darker lines.

BTW, I use the ZoomIt power toy to zoom in on pixels. When I look closely at 
Windows 11 File Explorer I see a mix of grayscale NATURAL rendering and LCD GDI 
rendering. Edge has a different mix. Microsoft is all over the map on this.
