Sub-pixel antialiasing doesn't work right on CRTs since there is no control of the alignment of the scanlines versus where the phosphor dots are located. Plus a pixel may light up more than the basic three dots. Normal anti-aliasing works fine on CRTs, that should give you a better images than turning on sub-pixel anti-aliasing. Click on the microscope photos at the bottom of the wikipedia page and they will enlarge. How this works is more obvious on the larger images. It is a requirement that there is precise alignment between the pixels and the color elements.
