You are also right about typography on a PC being a drag. Some while ago I read that Firefox was planning on forcing ClearType AA in the next versions similar to IE, but can't recall any source now though :/.

That’s perhaps because I don’t usually maximize browser windows on large displays. Also, we have a couple of standard monitors/consumer grade systems around (iMac G4, 17" eMac), so I usually check everything on other screens, too. But I’m still often surprised how terrible fonts look on PCs without anti-aliasing. I worked on high res monitors before, but so far haven’t notice the shift problems.

I had similar problems with my HP LP2475w where the default settings resulted in greenish shades of gray and overly saturated reds and greens. I solved the problem by manually calibrated the display using apple's default software, but reading your article definitely makes me want to look more into further tweaking gamma settings ... - By the way, doing web design on larger screens can be extremely tricky due to "optical illusion" which comes from smaller natural pixel size. In other words something that is 600px wide on your common display will physically look almost half smaller on your 27" display. While working on a 30" HP display for my previous employer, I had great troubles adjusting my perception of the web which was based on common displays. But the hardest part came with accepting design decisions which would affect user's experience, without being able to relate to what regular user's experience is myself.

Sometimes you get lucky and the typeface is actually (legally) available as a webfont, otherwise you usually spend hours hunting down a typeface with similar characteristics often ending up deciding between ignoring visual identity manual by using different but quality typeface or trying to blindly follow the rules by using the similar font of poor quality.
