Text blurrying out casually?

Hi Alessio, welcome to the Microsoft community, my name is Bruno Leonel, I am happy to help you.

I understand that you're having issues with blurry text on your new monitor, and I'm really sorry about that. I will try to help you in the best possible way.

In some cases, the problem can be caused by a loose or faulty cable.

See if the cable is tight on the monitor and also on the computer. If the problem persists, consider replacing the cable.

I suggest initially that you try to perform the steps below:

Step 1

Use ClearType

Open the menu and search for "Adjust ClearType Text" and click trim to open.

Follow the steps on the screen that will open.

step 2

Click "Start Menu" and click "Settings" > "System".

In "System", click "Display", the option "Change the size of text, apps and other items", set it to 100%. If it already is, go to the next step.

step 3

Open Windows 10/11 search and type fix blurry apps. In the list of options, click Fix apps that are blurry settings.

This will open the Advanced Scaling Settings page.

You need to enable the toggle button behind 'Let Windows try to fix apps so they aren't blurry'

step 4

Update the video driver by the manufacturer.

Press Win + R keys and type MSinfo32.

Check the manufacturer and access the website, download the video driver and install it.

If you have an NVIDIA or RADEON graphics card, search for the card model and install the latest driver version.

If the answer helped in any way, please mark it as an answer, if your question has not been solved, please post again.

I hope I helped, see you later!

 

Blurry Text Issue - ongoing

Hi,Vincent_0917

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

1. Change Windows 11 resolution: Resolve Windows 11 display blurring

A low-resolution monitor may cause Windows 11 to experience "display blurring" because lowering the resolution creates larger visible pixels. Setting the appropriate scaling and display resolution can help resolve Windows 11 usability and image quality issues such as a blurry screen.

• Use the Windows + I shortcut to open Settings System Screen
  
• Here, set the Display Resolution to match the monitor output.
  
• If the screen displays well, select 'Keep Changes', otherwise select 'Restore' and try another resolution.
  

2. Optimize Windows 11 DPI scaling: Resolve Windows 11 screen blurring

The dots per inch (DPI) value determines how sharp your display appears.The lower the DPI value, the lower the pixel density.A DPI value that is too low or not optimized for your display may cause Windows 11 screen blurring issues.



Windows 11 can use the 'Scaling' setting to modify the UI based on the pixel density of your monitor so that UI elements don't appear too small on displays with a higher pixel density.

• Use the Windows + I shortcut to open 'Settings' - 'System' - 'Screen'
  
• In the 'Scaling and Layout' dropdown box select an appropriate scaling ratio. It may take a little more experimentation to find the best setting for your monitor.
  

We can also adjust the DPI for each application individually, which can be useful if a single application is blurry or has a messy interface, rather than Windows 11 being blurry across the board:

• "Right-click on the application shortcut - select Properties - open the Compatibility tab - click the Change High DPI setting button.
  
• Check the box "Use this setting to fix scaling issues with this application" or "Alternative high DPI scaling behavior" to try it out. Here you can try out more options to determine which setting renders the application best.
  

3. Enable ClearType: Fix Windows 11 font whiffing

If you're having trouble reading text or having trouble with font display on Windows 11, it may have something to do with the ClearType setting. Enabling ClearType helps improve text clarity and makes text easier to read.

• Use the Windows + I shortcut to open Settings - Personalization - Fonts
  
• Click on "Adjust ClearType text" in "Related Settings" to turn it on.
  
• ClearType to fix Windows 11 font whiteness
  
• Windows 11 ClearType Wizard
  
• Check "Enable ClearType" - Click "Next" and follow the "ClearType Text Tuner" wizard.
  

If there is anything that is unclear or I can't understand your problem, please feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,

Martin | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

 

Blurry text


I got Windows 10 with OS Build 10586.164. Blurry text issue exists. Confirmed in Chrome, Firefox, Office 2016. Does not seem to exist in Windows Explorer.

Main monitor: 3840x2160 @125%.
Second monitor: 2560x1600 @100%.

Blurry text occurs on the second monitor. If I set the second monitor to 125% text looks good.

Is the fix (you said it's fixed) from 10576 not included in 10586.164?
