Why does text on an LCD screen using subpixel rendering become less legible when viewed at extreme angles?

💡 Explanation

Subpixel rendering relies on high contrast between subpixels to simulate higher resolution; however, viewing at extreme angles reduces this contrast because light from adjacent subpixels mixes, therefore legibility decreases rather than from gamma shifts or aliasing artifacts which are less angle-dependent.
