Right now I’m on a laptop with a wide-gamut 15″ 4K screen. So e.g. it generally copes very nicely with fine details in type, and it’s possible that colours may appear more saturated than they do on other devices. It’s running Windows 10 and I’m using a recent version of Firefox. The zoom factor in Windows, which on my machine defaults to 250%, is set to 200%, so many things will be displayed slightly smaller for me than is standard.
I have also tried GW on two other systems. One is running Windows 8.1 and, again, a recent version of Firefox, but with a lower-resolution monitor (30“, 2560x1600). The other is running a Unixy system (FreeBSD, as it happens) and a slightly older version of Firefox, and a 24” 1920x1200 monitor. Neither of these displays has a particularly wide colour gamut and I have made no attempt to calibrate them for colour accuracy.
All the displays are LCDs with a standard RGB stripe layout. I don’t think I have any nonstandard configuration to report besides what I mentioned above.
My impressions of GW are essentially the same on all of these. I have tried my tweaked styles only on the first and last (which are also the two most different) and prefer them to the defaults on both.
Yeah, agreed, that can make a big difference.

Excellent, thanks for the detailed report—it’s much appreciated.
