  1. Why is my second monitor appearing blurry


    I have just plugged in a second monitor to my pc and for some reason it appears as blurry I am using windows 10 and I am unsure as to what to do as I have tried to scale dpi chance the resolution and lots of different options such as updating display adaptors, however it is still blurry and I can't find any other methods I am unsure if it is just my monitor or if there is any other options to fix this if so I would like help as to how to fix it.

    Thank you

    :)

  2. Blurry Apps on second monitor

    Hi and thanks for answering.

    Are you sure you read my question in the first place ?

    I have no issue accessing my external display. I'm running a laptop with a high-dpi monitor, that is extended to a standard-dpi 22" monitor, and here's what my problem is :

    - my high-dpi monitor is showing most of my apps fine (legacy windows apps are blurry, but that's not a big issue)

    - what's more of an issue is this : when I drag any app that is not a native Windows 10 app (ie : Google Chrome) on my extended monitor, it shows up blurry. Only native Windows 10 apps are showing up crisp and clear on my extended monitor

    I tried upgrading my Intel HD drivers and performed a SFC, but none of these steps solved my issue.

    How can I solve my problem ?

    Thanks

    Adding third monitor made second monitor blurry!

    Hey all - Been lurking here for a while and have found many answers, but after searching with no resolution found. I was issued a new Dell laptop for work with Win10 1709 - it's a core i5 6300u 2.4Ghz with an intel HD 520 graphics card. I was running two 24 inch monitors at 1920x1080 with no problems. I added a third monitor, a dell 19incher at 1440x900. As soon as I added it, my second monitor became blurry (actually listed as monitor 1 in display setting, but monitor 2 in the Intel HD graphics control panel). I've gone through all the settings, changed refresh rates, tried different scale and layout percentages.. but alas, no change. The blurry monitor is connected via HDMI, and the other two are VGA and Mini Display to DVI. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Blurry Apps on second monitor

    Hi there,

    I have a 1080p 13" Lenovo Yoga 2 laptop connected to an extended 22" monitor. This was kind of a nightmare under Windows 8, but seems to work a lot better with Windows 10.

    However, I' still have a lot of apps showing crisp and clear on the HD display, but being blurry when I drag the to the second monitor. Blurry apps include PowerPoint 2007, Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera and so on. Only system apps and Windows 10 pieces of
    software installed from the App Store seem to display OK on the extended monitor.

    Is there a way to fix this and have all my apps showing fine on both monitors ?

    Thanks
