    Blurry 2nd Monitor when using different DPI scaling


    My main monitor is 2560x1440 and my 2nd monitor is 1920x1080. When I set both to 100% or 125% scaling they both look fine. If I set my main monitor to 125% and my 2nd monitor to 100% the 2nd monitor is blurry.

    Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to fix it?

    Thanks!

  2. Windows 10 - Blurry Text on laptop as Secondary Screen

    Hey everyone,

    I just ran into a problem in windows 10 relating the DPI scaling. At the moment my current setup is an LG monitor (100% DPI scaling) as my main monitor and my razer blade 2015 laptop (250% DPI scaling) being my secondary monitor. I noticed that if I have
    this configuration the text on the laptop looks blurry but if I change the setting to make my laptop as my primary display and the monitor as my secondary everything looks fine, no blurry text on any of the monitors.

    I must mention that the resolutions are on both screens at their recommended value ( LG - 1920x1080, Razer Blade - 3200x1800)

    Any solution to this?

    Thanks.

  3. Windows 10: Too Blurry at 150% Scaling (recommended), Too Small at 100% scaling

    Trust me they know. just like Apple had to do, they built an entire new platform just to solve for the different screen pixel densities. That's why you'll notice that apps from the app store never get blurry: the entire programming runtime platform was
    specifically built to solve it.

    I've researched and studied this at length. It gets even worse if you have multiple monitors and only one of them has a different density:

    Unfortunately I did not find a solution. I just had to set them to the same scaling level.

    I did find XPEWindows10_DPI-Fix which fixes other scaling issues but it can't set different monitors to different scaling levels.
