Cheers to all.I have a Philips bdm 4065/uc,and this monitor have BGR sub-pixel stripe,and text is blurry and fuzzy.Clear type on windows seems to not work,so I hate so much this monitor.I want to sell this monitor and buy another with RGB stripe,because only on RGB, text are clear and crisp.
So my question is:
there are any program or something to detect subpixel stripe on monitor/TV LCD???Someone can help me?
I want to buy another display but I want only with RGB stripe.
Thanks to all,

You can use a magnifying glass to see the subpixel order directly. Or you can look at text with both RGB and BGR antialiasing and see which looks better (you can find samples of each on Micosoft's site).

If you want to know whether a monitor you want to buy is RGB, then you'll have to ask the manufacturer, or someone who already owns one (but most are RGB).

ClearType does support both layouts though. You should be able to change it by running through the ClearType Text Tuner (which you should be able to find somewhere via the Start menu, depending on your version of Windows).

I was wrong,text is the same on RGB or BGR subpixel stripe.I check with a macro camera on another display Samsung who using the same BGR strype.On Samsung display with same BGR strype,text are clear and crisp.The problem is this *** monitor BDM4065/uc.On all signal d-sub,hdmi even on DP text are a little blurry,and have too much bleeding and ghosting even with response time set to :OFF.Even on native resolution using a DP cable 1.2~ 60 HZ,text are blurry,and sharpness option is too weak on this model.Have less edge.I try to comunicate with Philips support to release a small firmware to increase level of sharpness a bit,but they don't respond me,they don t care about me.I hate netherland people,they are bad and cold people.I will never buy something from Philips for the rest of my life!!!!!!!!!!

I was wrong when I belive BGR stripe is causing blurriness.It seem on a good display text are the same with no ghost or blur.
