Windows 7 is Blurry/Fuzzy for me...

Anonymous

I love it, dont get me wrong but ahhh i wanna continue to use it...but it all just seems fuzzy and i've tried everything from Changing the DPI, to resolutions to clear type text, to screen refresh rates, nothing...just nothing makes it seem crisp like it was when i was using vista. i have a 17 inch screen. LCD flat panel. on vista i use to use 1024x768 but its way to blurry and large on windows 7. Im using a Radeon hd 4350...so i thought maybe its the driver. Updated it. still nothing. Blurry and fuzzy. It can be tough on the eyes so im just about ready to go back to vista. If anyone can help, that would be great. Windows 7 is great and i really want to continue to use it. Thank you.

You can try updating your video card driver by visiting the manufacturers website and downloading it from there rather than using the Update Driver function in the Device Manger, as that will only update to a driver from Microsoft.

Also, most LCD monitors have a native resolution that if set to a different resolution will make the view distorted and blurry like your describing. I suspect that it's 1024x768 for the 17" monitor, as it worked in Vista that way and works in Windows 7 that way.

im having the same problem.

My eyes start to sting when looking at the screen more than a few minutes.

Before win 7 i used win XP and used 1024*768 @ 100Hz, excellent picture quality and now it's kinda fuzzy and cant set lower resolution to use 100Hz (now in 1600*1200 @ 85Hz which win 7 recommends) because it looks bad in win 7.

When trying to play world of warcraft (only game installed so far) i get dizzy and eyes start to sting and cant play. Sometimes i even feel nausea.

I have latest drivers from Nvidia, i use Asus geforce 8800 GTS 320Mb. My screen is an old CRT 19" LG Flatron F900P

i solved it.

i made 2 custom resolutions through nvidias panel and when switching to the other it promps for a test, do the test but dont accept it, let it revert and voila its normal crystal clear pic again :)

looks to me like a software bug either from nvidia or win 7.

searched the internet for hours but couldnt find any answers, although cant set it to use 100hz, it uses 85hz at the moment. cant even force it or anything, it showed in win xp :(
