I also found I can get clear fonts in Firefox on Windows 8.1 by disabling hardware acceleration in the Options > General tab. You may notice that some parts of the Windows 8.1 user interface are clear while other parts are not. Windows 7 had RGB font rendering which was far superior.

What I don't understand, is why is it when I connect my older 17" lcd monitor to the laptop and use that as the only display, the text in windows 8 on that monitor is also blurry, and worse than it was when I used the 17" lcd display with my AMD64 desktop with In reality though, I find I am straining to focus on it.

I bought an Asus laptop with a 1920 x 1080 resolution 15.6" screen and windows 8 and I find the screen is tiring. I tried to adjust it to 100% (smaller) - signed out and in again - everything was a bit TOO small, so i changed it back to 125% (normal) and the fuzzy/blury text disappeared, so for me, your answer was the solution. I solved this by re-setting the scale level back to medium and now the fuzz had gone.

Font is smaller now, but fonts are smooth. Go to Desktop->right click-> Screen Resolution.Ĭlick "Make text and other items larger or smaller".Ĭheck the box "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays".
