Of course, it is down to personal preference, so try it both ways. Turn it off and everything is easier to see and text is more readable. I cannot see the advantage of transparency effects in macOS and to my eyes it just makes things harder to see, especially text. Try logging in and out, which can sometimes make a difference after changing settings. Normal on the left, LCD smoothing on the right. Try light and dark themes with font smoothing on and off to see which best suits your eyes. This looks good when the Light theme is selected ( System Preferences > General), but it looks different when the Dark theme is selected and I prefer LCD font smoothing off. It depends on your Mac and what type of display you have, but on my MacBook it makes text extra bold. However, if you a running the latest version of macOS, the change is instantaneous. It used to be that you did not see anything when turning this option on or off because you had to log out of your account and log back in or restart the Mac to see the change. It can be on or it can be off and there is no right or wrong setting because it is down to whatever suits you best.
Click the General icon and down at the bottom of the window is Use LCD font smoothing. Go to the Apple menu and select System Preferences. A lot of your time is spent looking at text on the screen so it had better be good. Problems with the display are most noticeable when looking at the text and there is a lot of it - menus, apps, documents, web pages and so on. It may have a known fault that qualifies for a free or discounted repair. Even if you do not have that particular model, it might be worth getting Apple to look at your faulty screen if none of the tips below work. Apparently there are issues with some 13in MacBook Pro's from 2016. Some MacBooks are known to have problems with the screen and Apple has a 13-in MacBook Pro Display Backlight Service Program. However, the problem could be caused by wrong settings, maybe not wrong, but certainly not the best settings. If your MacBook display has deteriorated recently or perhaps is not as good as you think it should be, if it exhibits lighting and banding issues, and other problems, it could be a hardware fault and the display might need repairing by Apple. The screen is the one thing on your MacBook or iMac that you use the most and if the display is perfect you will suffer irritation, eyestrain and maybe headaches.
