Windows 10: Default font too 'blocky' compared to Win7

So I recently got a new computer I built myself. Having to for a couple reasons finally make the jump to Win10....there's just so many issues I have but a bit one is that the system font just doesn't want to work right.
It's mainly numbers -- text seems to be fine but the numbers are very blocky and very much don't even fit right with the rest. This affects some programs more than others, but notably Windows Explorer and the tab bar on my browser, as well as the RSS feed(Waterfox) which I've attached small pics of. Especially in the last one it's very clear how out of place the numbers are.

My font is Segoe UI. I *like* that font and want to keep it. For sure I was using it on Win7. As far as I can tell I have fonts at default -- I've changed and reverted this a number of times already. What's especially puzzling is trying to see if maybe I had it at 'Semibold' previously, I tried changing it to that, but somehow this makes everything in Italics....which makes zero sense. I even tried overwriting my old font files from my old install and that did nothing. I can't see how the font files would be borked -- this is a clean Win10 install (on version 2004), not even an upgrade.
I also have tried with ClearType both on and off and this doesn't change things.

Now the main difference from my old setup is that I have a DVI ---> HDMI converter, since my graphics card has no DVI input. I was in fact using a TV temporarily while waiting for this and the font issues weren't there (though there were other ones). I suppose it may just be that my monitor is old, but it seems odd that it was working fine in Win7.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be extremely grateful.

Blurry fonts in Win7 7600 64bit

I am having problem with blurry/fuzzy fonts in Win7 build 7600 64bit. Some fonts in control panel are really blurry. You can check attached picture. This blurriness actually makes me dizzy *Twitch :twitch:. Also display in Win7 is kinda foggy compared to XP where everything is clear and crisp.

I am using latest graphic drivers and monitor drivers + intelchipset is installed. Fullscreen games are also kinda foggy compared to XP.
I have smooth fonts (cleartype) disabled.
In search of a solution. Anyone?
Regards.
