Windows 10: Desktop is larger than monitor and is blurry

I changed my screen resolution to higher than recommended then when I went back the desktop was too large for the monitor. The taskbar is cutoff halfway and I can barely see the close window button at the top of the screen as well as it is of lower quality and to get everything to fit I have to dramatically reduce the resolution even though it was working perfectly before I changed it. I have tried unplugging then plugging back in the HDMI cable and restarting my PC but nothing is working.

External monitor is blurry

Hi,

The blurry display when using an external display may indicate a scaling issue. If the display of the internal monitor is not compatible with the external monitor, it may render a poor or fuzzy display. As an initial step, we suggest that you try the methods
under the Workaround section provided on this
support article.

Let us know should you need further assistance.

 

Monitor is a bit blurry

I just built a new gaming rig and am using an XFX 6950 and an ASUS 23.6" monitor. On some pages, I notice some fonts are a bit blurry and strain my eyes. Any idea how I can fix this? I am using windows 7, so please make the steps work for that. Thanks.
