Since recently my right monitor has shown some blurry components. This only happens in portrait orientation (Independent of whether left or right).

Things I tried:

  • The driver is up to date
  • Scaling is set to 100%
  • Played around with clear type (the actual text in the clear type menu is shown perfectly)
  • The display resolution is set to the native one
  • Tried different Display ports
  • Tried setting the monitor as the primary one
  • Scaling / resolution settings in Nvidia driver
  • Enabled and disabled Windows' fix blurry app feature
  • Various other suggestions found here: 1 2 3 4 5

What's weird is that some text (like the entire windows explorer or spotify) are sharp, other text and windows (e.g. Chrome) are blurry. Some cases like windows terminal have sharp text in the tabs but blurry console text.

It's not the panel, it worked before and when I use my Debian machine it doesn't have any issues (plus it can show some components sharp independent of where they are on the screen)

I'm using Windows 10 Pro insider preview Build 21327 and an NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super with driver version 470.05.

Here's a photo of the sharp monitor (left).
I hope it illustrates the blurry bits (right click menu, terminal) and the non-blurry bits (terminal tab, advanced settings) The right click menu text has a "glow".

A screenshot is here, the rendering looks good on the screenshot on all windows, in reality chrome has blurry text, the clear type windows has sharp text

  • Try the following: Start, Settings, Display. Right side window. Select Advanced Scaling Settings. Enable"Let Windows fix apps so not blurry" . Make sure scaling is one of Window selections and not your own. Close out, restart and test.

  • Please provide a screenshot, ideally with both blurry and non-blurry parts.

  • It has to be a screenshot to accurately judge the fonts’ subpixel rendering.

In this case it must have been the Windows Insider Preview build.
I recently had an update and the issue is fixed without further input from me.
