Text on monitor starts looking blurry

Hi! I adore my HP w2207h monitor, it had been working fine for the longest time. Now the text starts looking broken after a few seconds. It gets fixed as soon as I make it bigger with my mouse wheel but then it goes blurry again. I have tried calibrating, toggling between clear type and not, downloaded latest drivers. I also noticed it mostly happens when I'm online. Is there a solution or will I have to put the poor baby down?

I fixed it!!  But it's important for at least beginners like me, that it didn't have anything to do with the monitor. Thankfully, I found out just as I was about to go spend money I don't have on a new graphics card and a new monitor. Turns out it was just a Firefox thing. Merely by accident, I had to use Internet Explorer, and noticed I didn't have the problem there. So I went back to FF and the problem was there, more awful by the minute. After looking into it I ended up changing the CSS in their back end and disabling hardware acceleration. I didn't see that anywhere around here, so I hope it helps anybody that has that problem, before they go buy new stuff.
Thank you all,
Happy New Year!

    Hi,

  • Text on my screen is blurry/fuzzy

    hello. i accidentally hit a key (not sure which one) the other day, and then i noticed that my desktop background had changed from my customized background to the default blue Mac screen. no big deal, i just changed it back to the picture i had up before. but ever since then, the text on my screen has looked blurry. its a subtle difference but it's definitely noticeable, and a bit irritating to my vision. i tried adjusting the font text smoothness using the system preferences - appearance function, but nothing has helped. any help???
    thanks,
    nada

    It sounds like the resolution may have accidentally been changed. Check in Displays preferences. It should be set to 1280 x 800.

  • TS1702 In pages, when I get to the end of a line, the text refuses to start again in the left, it continues on the right and goes down the page, anyone know a solution?

    In pages, when I get to the end of a line, the text refuses to start again in the left, it continues on the right and goes down the page, anyone know a solution?

    Does this occur in all of your Pages documents? Are you certain that you haven't formatted the type to run flush right? (Align right I mean - sorry old typographer lingo). Look at the ruler at the top and check the Align setting.
    Have you tried quitting Pages completely and the restart the iPad?
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Multiple Rotate3d filters makes everything looks blurry

    Hi I have a Flex 4 project that uses two rotate filters.
    Once it to rotate the main container and the other to rotate an internal element.
    The issue is that when applied simultaneously text, and everything looks blurry.
    If I add a delay time to one of the effects so they are not applied simultaneously then the blurry effect seems to be fixed.
    The thing is that I would like not to be aware if there is a rotation effect in a parent container or something like that, just want to apply the effect and that it work as intended.
    Any suggestion or good practice to slove this?
    Thanks in advanced

  • Pages documents look blurry after updating to iOS 8.3

    I use the iWorks apps a lot, after updating tonight to iOS 8.3 I discovered that the display of all the documents from Pages looks blurry, and when I open a document it looks still blurry, is there a way to fix it?, Am I the only one having this trouble?

    Just got off the phone with Apple Tech Support, including a Pages specialist. No solutions so far but there have been other complaints. The initial technician had to look up under iWorks rather than Pages. The Pages specialist is filing a report but suggested it would speed things along to go to apple.com/feedback, scroll down to iOS Apps, select Pages, and file a bug report online, which I just did. The more of us willing to file an online bug report the faster the fix. Be sure to include the version number of Pages (Settings/Pages). I checked other native iOS apps (Safari, Mail, Notes, Calender, Contacts) and they are all fine. I updated my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 to iOS 8.3 and Pages text is blurry. I did not update my iPhone 5c. It is still running iOS 8.2 and Pages text is perfect. All are running the latest version of Pages (2.5.2). So the problem is definitely with the 8.3 update.

  • Qosmio F10: Monitor screen looks like an Andy Warhol picture

    I am currently having problems with my monitor screen looking like an Andy Warhol picture. I have resorted to going through the Product Recovery DVD-ROM for my Qosmio F10/G10 Laptop in the hope that reverting it back to the factory settings would solve the problem but it hasn't.
    The screen breaks down after the Windows welcome screen, leaving me with my desktop all Andy Warhol like (i.e. blocks of pixilated colour at the edges of the graphics). I have tried to reset the resolution which solves the problem to an almost acceptable level but on a temporary basis, because the problem re-appears again when I re-boot the laptop.
    I think that it is something to do with the Windows Multimedia Operating system that was preinstalled on my computer (so no recovery disc). The reasoning behind this assumption is that I put a DVD film into the Multimedia that is part of Windows XP and the film is a moving Andy Warhol video.
    I put the same DVD into the WinDVD that came as a Toshiba additional content and the DVD is perfect! My reasoning is, that if there was something wrong with the hardware of the Laptop, then all DVD reading programs would react the same way, but as they do not, it must be a programming (or operating system problem).
    Am I on the right lines? Is there a way to solve the problem via a downloadable file?

    Thanks guys for your replies, sorry if my question is confusing, but I couldn't think of any other way of describing it without the use of a screen dump to show you.
    At the moment I haven't got another monitor to try, even though this looks as though it would have been the easiest option. I shall start asking round to see if I can borrow one to eliminate that variable.
    However I will try to reinstall and to update "Graphic Drivers" to get rid out of this display problem.
    Thanks to all.

  • Imported graphics look blurry in playback

    This just started creating headaches for me. I have high-resolution graphics (1920x1080 HD resolution) that I have imported into Final Cut Pro X and they look fine in preview mode. However when I go to play it back after render they look blurry. The frame rate info says 60fps -- is this the problem? Is there a way to force it to have a frame rate of 29.97fps? I have created several Final Cut projects in the past that have incorporated similar graphics and have never had this issue.
    Any clues on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

    OK I feel stupid. Don't know how that pref setting got changed, must have happened in one of the recent updates. Thanks.

  • Imported PDFs look blurry

    Hi All,
    I'm using Keynote 09 and when importing PDFs images they all look blurry, but the text and lines in the figure look OK. One way to avoid this problem is to convert the figures to PNGs... but then that does not solve the issue and it involves more steps. Any ideas on how to solve this?
    Thanks,
    Jaime

    That's what it is. Everything else that's generated is a vector except for the grayscale bar and the grayscale pixelated image. Unfortunately, OSX's default way of dealing with images to make them look better is to smooth them. To see what it would look like unsmoothed, open in Preview, go into the Preferences under the PDF tab and de-select "Smooth text and line art". From your description, if there was a way to smooth only the vector and leave the rest unsmoothed, that'd be perfect, but I don't know if that's an option.
    Is there anyway they could generate a higher resolution image for you (double 489 x 460)? The higher the resolution of that image, the less OSX would blur it.

  • 60i Looks Blurry

    Forum,
    I've recently captured 60i, 1/2000th shudder speed from my Canon HV30. I used these settings because I taped a football game and I wanted to minimize motion blur.
    I used easy set up:
    HDV
    1080i60
    29.97 fps
    It doesn't look blurry in my viewer, but when I switch to full screen mode - forget it.
    Can anybody help me to get rid of this motion blur?
    Thanks,
    Trey
    P.S I'm new to 60i; I usually shoot either 24p or 30p.

    treyvon,
    You've been here a while now and no doubt have read the countless threads and posts based around this issue that we're eluding to here; you cannot judge the quality of your video on anything but external monitoring.
    As G has suggested, you must use an hd monitor or at the very least an hdtv to judge but in your case, you've hit that iMac brick wall of NO EXPANSION capability. If you're iMac has a dvi output you could use an MXO with a computer display and some folks will recommend that but I can't.
    At the very least, playback your video from your Canon camera onto your hdtv and then judge sharpness. If it's blurry there, then you need to fire your camera operator and reshoot.

  • Fonts look blurry inside GTK since using Gettext and Autotools

    Hey all,
    I am noticing an issue in three of my projects, but I have no idea where to start debugging. Let me explain below.
    So, I have three projects with GTK3 (and C). At first, I used a simple Makefile and nothing else to compile these applications and all was fine. Some time ago, I imported these into Anjuta (GNOME IDE) which set me up with Autools and also automatically enabled Gettext so I can translate my applications. When I build my applications with Autools, the fonts suddenly look blurry/anti-aliased.
    In one project, I managed to resolve these blurry fonts by removing a call to gtk_window_set_default_icon_name(). In another, I can fix it by removing a Pango markup which does nothing but scale a font to size 48 (removing the call to gtk_window_set_default_icon_name() did not work here). In the third project, I have no idea on how to resolve this, as removing the gtk_window_set_default_icon_name() did not solve it this time either and I do not use Pango markup. As you can see, none of these workarounds have anything in common so I have no idea where to start debugging this.
    I can think of three causes for this:
    1. Autotools;
    2. Gettext;
    3. Anjuta.
    But searching on Google does not give me any viable results.
    You can find the code for all three projects on my GitHub, if needed:
    1. https://github.com/Unia/gcolor3 - Here I removed the call to gtk_window_set_default_icon_name().
    2. https://github.com/Unia/gtimeutils - This one I can solve by removing the Pango markup in GTimer. GStopwatch is fine.
    3. https://github.com/Unia/gxms - No clue to resolve.
    Perhaps I better ask this on another forum, but I thought I'd try here first. Thanks in advance!

    Yea, when I actually install my applications and launch them from GNOME Shell's menu or launcher the fonts look as blurry as they do when I launch them from Anjuta. Other applications look fine and with the workarounds I described above, my own applications display nicely too when launched from either GNOME Shell or Anjuta.

  • Vector graphics look blurry...why?

    When I import an adobe illustrator file into motion, the graphics look blurry. I want them to look sharp. Here are some screen shots, that show the blurry illustrator file and the various settings. The text is size is 100 points (very big) in the illustrator file. Motion did not rasterize the imported file. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    Select the media tab to the right of the layers tab in the Project Pane.
    Then in the Inspector, click on the media tab.
    Fixed resolution is checked by default.
    Good luck.

  • I have checked "Search for text when I start typing" but it is not happening since your latest update.

    I have checked “Search for text when I start typing” but it is not happening since your latest update. This is very important to me as I keyboard - not use the mouse. What can I do? Also, before the last update I could leave the window (alt+tab) and return and just type and it would type it is the search box. Now I have to take my hand off the keyboard and get the mouse three times for every search, slowing my work way, way down. What other flag do I need to put this back the way it was? Should I also remove the “Automatically check for updates” so that this will not happen again? Please, please help.

    Hi CynthiaP,
    You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. It may just be an issue with the pref file!
