Photoshop text problem

Hey guys...I am writing here since I couldn't find any answers that can help me. I am new to Mac so I really need help with Photoshop....URGENT.

What is happening...I am a graphic and web designer for one company. I mostly use Illustrator for graphic work, but when it comes to web I use Photoshop. I am on mac for one week. This is the first time I am creating a web page in Photoshop and I have a big problem with pixelated text.

Here's an .jpg example of text in Photoshop:

This is a 16pt text. I am using MacLCD as text option. When I open this image in Chrome, it shows me it's real size and it is very pixelated. I can't check the real look of my work. Everything is so bad. I also opened this image on Windows PC, and it looks the same...blurry and pixelated.

I have worked on PC until now, and I didn't have any problems with this or with Photoshop in past.

PLEASE HELP...

I am using MacbookPro 15" 2017, High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65)
I am connected with LG 27" 4K screen with USB-C
I am using PhotoshopCC 2018

Now...even when I disconnect my screen, everything is the same. So the problem is not scaling to bigger screen.
Also, I don't have any issue with Illustrator CC 2018. Everything is perfect with it. It's just Photoshop.

Have you tried different anti-aliasing for the text? Are you creating the text as an image for a webpage??

Yep...tried all of them, it's always that kind of look. Everything is somehow pixelated. Illustrator works fine.
I also tried to restart Photoshop, didn't solve the problem. I also tried to reinstall it, didn't help...
I need to start working on a webpage, and I just can't design on 72dpi using Photoshop. It just doesn't look good in Photoshop, or Chrome, or some other viewer. It's impossible to work.

At this moment I work on some forms in Illustrator. All is good, but that's not a solution. I can't work on it in Illustrator. Lack of effects, lack of possibilities with images,...it's much, much slower importing all the stuff. I like Illustrator, but I used it for vectors only. I am avoiding importing images in it.

Hi pavkeee,

After creating a text layer, change the resolution to 300 PPI and check if that helps.

Steps:

Image menu > Image size > Resolution

When it's 300dpi, text look fine...but now this whole document is 300dpi, and I need it to be 72dpi since it's a website and not design for printing. This didn't happen on PC. On PC I could see the website look while I am working, also when I export it for ex. as an .jpg image. That .jpg looked normal also in Chrome while checking how it will look in browser.

Is it even possible to design a website with 72dpi in Photoshop CC 2018 on Mac ? Illustrator is working perfectly. At this moment I am creating some forms for web in Illustrator just to not waste time until I find a solution for Photoshop.
