The first one is probably using subpixel-rendering, since it looks
much, much better on my laptop.

Do you, by any chance, use subpixel-rendering on CRT?

FWIW, the second one looks a lot more like your original screenshot,
so you've probably mistaken the two, and you maybe even agree the
first one looks better :)

The default should probably depend on your screen type.
