    • Type and click Control Panel.
    • Click Appearance and Personalization and under Display, click
      Make text other items larger or smaller.

    Some apps font size changed, hard to read

    Windows 10 changed font size of some apps and are very hard to read. I tried to change display settings and other compatibility settings but still the font is too small.

    Is there any fix for this issue?

  4. My laptop display (fonts) became smaller and hard to read after windows update

    Most eye-friendly 27-30" monitor for a lot of text reading under $500/€400/£325

    You list no budget, you don't mention what size displays you're used to, you give no desired resolution, and you don't even mention what country you're in.

    On size, even 27" could present some problems if you're used to a smaller display, esp the new 1440p ones. At native res a 27" display (esp with 1440p res) will have much smaller fonts than a smaller display. Using a less than native res will make the fonts larger at the expense of some image quality. Setting fonts to a larger size in Windows can also cause some degradation of clarity.

    You're also wrongly assuming all IPS panels produce poor text. Some are quite good at it, like the Dell Ultrasharps. I'm not going to waste time making any suggestions until you clarify the above things left out though, esp budget and country.
