    Why do I keep seeing individual pixels on my display


    I just noticed while reducing the volume on my computer, the volume overlay (specifically the blue volume bar) is pixelated, or in other words, I can see individual pixels. And I thought this was strange, so I closed the application I was running, and I tried doing again and it was pixelated. However, this time, the black area was pixelated as well. Even now when I'm writing this, the blue bar at the top of chrome looks pixelated. I believe this only works with other colors as I cannot see this happening with white backgrounds. Could this be my display or just my eyes tricking me (because on all other screens, everything looks smooth)? I don't feel it is the latter because it doesn't happen my phone and I just got my display replaced this week.

    :)

    horrible pixelated text and icons on high res display

    Hi Thomas,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per the issue description you are facing issue with the resolution. All icons and text are huge, blurry and pixelated.

    Wrong screen resolution is an issue in the most cases. Some updates may disrupt your screen resolution, and changing it back to normal, should fix things up. Try the steps provided below and see if it helps.

    • Right click on Desktop and choose Personalization
    • In the down left corner, click on Display
    • Click on Adjust Resolution
    • Choose your resolution and click OK

    If resolution changing doesn’t help, first thing you want to do next is to check if your video drivers are compatible with Windows 10, if they’re not, uninstall them and install the compatible ones. Here’s how to do that:

    • Click on the Start button, and type “Device Manager” on the search bar.
    • Open Device Manager, expand "Display Adapters”.
    • Find and double-click Display Adapters from the left panel.
    • Right-click the device, and click Uninstall.
    • Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click
      OK to remove the driver.
    • After the uninstallation is complete, reboot your computer.
    • After you have successfully uninstalled the driver, please go to the computer manufacturer’s website, download the Windows 10 Display driver for your computer and check.
    • Follow Step 1 till 3. Then go to the driver and click on it.
    • Click on the driver tab and update the driver and restart your computer.

    Hope this would help. If issue still persists, post back with current status of your computer and result of proposed suggestions, we will be happy to assist you.

    Regards,
