  1. Just got a new laptop and some text in windows is blurry - does anyone know why??


    Hi,

    My new laptop has just arrived and some text is blurry, but only some of it....i'm not too sure how much you can see in the attached picture but the text in the header (circled in red) is fine whereas the text in the body of the window (circled in yellow) is blurry.

    As i type this in my browser the text is fine....

    Does anyone know what is causing this and how it can be fixed please?

    Laptop is Lenovo Legion 5 with 1920 x 1080 resolution.

    Thanks!

    Blurry text


    Hi all,

    I come from windows 7, and since last yesterday I'm using my new laptop with windows 10 Pro. I lost almost 1 day trying to fix the problem of blurry text in a Dell Monitor 24" (1920x1200) @ 100% (recommended). At the begging I thought it was because the graphic card, but not.

    The solution I applied? Change to 125% the external monitor (not recommended option). The blurry text issue was solved, but it is a workaround, not a real solution. I see programs bigger than I expected, and in my editor to code (sublime text 3) I have to modify a config file to see the same number of lines that I saw with windows 7.

    The laptop has resolution 1920x1080 @ 125% (recommended). The blurry text issue was horrible.

    I have read in this forum that issue is because the 2 monitors have different scales (125% to 100%). Then changing external monitor to 125% solve the problem. I have to try what happens if I set laptop screen and external monitor to 100%. Now I'm not at home.

    I'm very disappointed and frustrated because of this. I have chosen to pay for windows 10 with my new laptop, and the blurry text issue is not acceptable. With the same monitor (2 HDMI ports) I use a 8 years old desktop computer connected by HDMI with windows 7 and I see the text and program windows better than with my new laptop with windows 10 connected by HDMI as well.

    win 10 blurry text/screen - new laptop


    If you are seeing difference between different programs it is because of your GPU drivers and if you are using the utility. No one else is having this issue. It is always suggested to install the latest GPU driver and software to change settings. Changing the DPI is going to make text blurry. Especially if you have a large screen, which you have not posted what resolution that you are using.

    Once again it is not a program problem, it is a GPU driver issue and possibly that your resolution is set too high by what the GPU considers "Native" for the LCD screen.

    I have Glaucoma and implanted lenses from Cataracts being removed. I am not seeing anything that you are stating is going on. Even with my reading glasses on, the text on my laptop is not blurry at the "native" resolution of my laptop screen.
