Screen is blurry

The cause of blurry text can be from various causes

  • The picture can be out of alignment
  • Various temperature changes can affect the picture (too cold or too hot)
  • Magnetic devices near by such as speakers can cause issues with a monitor
  • Fans can interfere with picture quality
  • Various types of light can affect the monitor
  • Loose connection
  • Resolution setting

To troubleshoot try the following

  • Check the cable to make sure it is connected and screwed in tight. (Be sure to check on both ends. Some monitors have removable cables)
  • Play with the controls on the monitor to see if that helps
  • If the screen is blury only at times, take note of the temperature when the problem happens
  • Move any speakers, fans, phones or anything magnetic away from the screen.
  • Turn off the lights in the room to see if it affects the monitor
  • Try the monitors native resolution
  • Try different fonts
  • Make sure you have the latest driver for your video card
  • Try another monitor to see if it is the monitor or the video card causing the issue.
