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.

Suddenly the text on my screen is blurry.

My computer was fine earlier today. I went out (left it on and it went into sleep mode). When I returned, the text on the screen was all blurry. Not only that, but it changed the size of the screen so that nothing that's on it fits as it is supposed to.
Oddly, when I created a second account, there was nothing wrong with the screen in that account.
I've loaded all the current updates.
My bad, though - my last back up was in December (thought I had Time Machine on but it seems I turned it off some time after the end of December, don't recall why or when exactly).
This appears to be a software issue.
Is there a fix?

Didn't work.
And how would the resolution of the screen change without someone fiddling with it?
No, this isn't a screen resolution problem. It looks like the system has lost connection to the font it is supposed to display. There are no recognizable fonts in any of the items I open. It looks like a kind of generic font with odd colour shadows behind letters.
When I created a new account, the display was perfect.
How does something like this happen spontaneously? I was absent from my computer - and no one else has access to it - for a couple of hours and whatever happened, happened in that time I was absent.
I need to get this fixed right away as I have a graphic design project coming in shortly and I really need to see the font I will be working in.

Windows 8 Blurry/Fuzzy Text

Hi everyone,
I recently installed Windows 8 and i noticed that the screen puts a lot of strain on my eyes compared to Windows 7. It seems like the screen/text is blurry/fuzzy a bit putting strain on my eyes. It is not as crisp as it was in Windows 7. Almost too powerful?
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I bought an Asus laptop with a 1920 x 1080 resolution 15.6" screen and windows 8 and I find the screen is tiring. The laptop has an i7-4700HQ cpu with onboard gpu and a separate nVidia gpu for higher demand games and applications.
There is some Eye strain with this laptop. I have suspected:
1) the small text as I am entering presbyopia world at 44 this year, or;
2) perhaps it is the pwm way that led backlights are controlled in lcd screens.
3) I've heard windows 8 and newer text is problematic.
I do change the scaling of the text in windows on the laptop, and in apps like Google Chrome and IE, but that does not worsen anything. Scaling isn't worse, it only makes things bigger and easier to read, which seems to help, but I still get tired looking at
the laptop screen. I have Clear Type on and without it, things look worse. I have tried various brightness levels. The text on the laptop seemed to look nice at first. I thought it looked "smooth", perhaps because of the high resolution of the screen
(it is non-reflective matte). I suppose that is because of the higher resolution. In reality though, I find I am straining to focus on it. It seems oddly soft.
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
XP Pro.
Is it the display card or windows 8? Not sure what to do.

Blurry/ fuzzy fonts in pdf when export from indesign

Hello all,
i have done alot of research/ readings via the internet (& forum) but i still can't find a solution to this:
- I have saved my pdfs (line drawings, texts, graphics) in illustrator.
- i 'place' them into Indesign.
- In indesign, i click 'export', 'adobe pdf (print)', ' high quality print'.
Result: the texts on the embedded pdfs are fuzzy. I have used 2 fonts- one is fine & editable in the exported pdf (garamond); only 'arial' seems rasterized & fuzzy.
What have i tried:
- i tried exporting as 'pdf X 1a 2001' settings as it is mentioned that it is good for printing.
- i have tried clicking 'do not downsample' in all the 'compression categories'.
- i have also checked 'find font', to see if the 'arial' is true font. It is.
What else can i do? kindly advise. Thank you in advance.
*software:
adobe cs5
Best,
Jessica

Oh no...
i see your point now.
That text is from the usual font folder.
- i checked in illlustrator: 'type', 'find font', 'arial'; whereelse in Indesign, it is 'arial regular'.
- In control panels, 'font' folder, i see i only have 1 arial regular file, so both illustrator & indesign should have the same 'arial regular'...
OK UPDATE: I GOT IT RIGHT NOW:
- In illustrator file, to create pdf: 'print', 'printer: cutepdfwriter', 'output', 'printer resolution: 100lpo1200dpi' (initially it was 72lpi), and 'graphics', 'fonts: download'- 'none' (initally: subset).
I don't know which made it work: Pinrter resolution or fonts download.
But now i could edit the illustrator pdf 'arial' font; and when placed in indesign to export, it is not blurry anymore.
Never knew something like this can make such a big difference, thank you Bob!
**but can you let me know what was it i changed that made it worked as well? thanks!
Jess

Blurry/fuzzy fonts on external display (Dell 2209WA)

Hi, I recently bought a Dell 2209WA and I'm not too happy with how the fonts are displayed on it. All the fonts seems blurry/fuzzy/jagged.
I have tried to change the sharpness of the display as well as the font smoothing style(I get best results on Medium) in OSX. It gets a little bit better with these settings than with the defaults but far from good.
I'm running the display on a black MacBook through DVI, native resolution 1680 x 1050 @ 60 Hz.
Anybody else with this problem?

I'm not sure if my problem is related, but I'm also connecting my MacBook to a Dell LCD panel via the mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter and I'm getting weird on-screen artifacts and intermittent flickering.
There's a known problem if you're using the mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter and Apple has provided a firmware update to fix the problem. If you're using that (and connecting to your Dell monitor via an additional VGA-to-DVI dongle, then you might want to grab the update.
But as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a solution for the DVI adapter.

Bootcamp Windows Screen Resolution/Blurry?

Hello. Running Bootcamp on new Macbook Pro, installed and also running Win XP Pro. When using Windows the resolution on the screen seems just a little blurry/fuzzy. Definately not as sharp as the screen when running the Mac OS. (Also had the same issue with older Macbook Pro with bootcamp also). I've adjusted all display properties and nothing really improves it. I know its it's Windows, but is it possible to make the resolution sharper?
Thanks.

Lion is 10.7.1
Boot Camp incl with Lion is 4.0
If you have older Mac OS X discs, well, the new 2011s are totally different changed hardware motherboard chipset and you won't find drivers even if you try using BC 3.0.
So goodbye to 10 yr plus OS that is EOL no longer getting patches and updates and 20X vulnerable as a Windows 7 64-bit (or even play with free Windows 8 Deve Preview, but expect a few things to need tweeks).

Video looks Blocky, Blurry, Fuzzy in AE (1280X720 29.97fps)

Im trying to make a montage of gameplay I have recorded of myself playing PS3 the files are .m2ts, so im using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 to cut the video into clips so I could then export them into AE (After Effects).
So it can make it esier to work with other than cuting the video in After Effects this way I have all my clips organized the way I want.
The way im doing that is by going over to Export --> Media --> with these settings Format: QuickTime Video Codec: Photo - JPEG Quality: 100
Now I open the rendered .MOV file using Windows Media Player and everything looks flawless nice video quality is not gone.
So then comes the AE part now my clips are ready to be mastered and added effects to so I go into Import --> File --> and choose my .MOV file which I have exported from Premiere Pro
But for some reason my video looks Blocky, Blurry, Fuzzy real low quality which is not what I want I have it set on Full and yet it looks horrible.
It looks like AE is having trouble opening the video properly or something in the settings is wrong but from my point of view the composition matches everything from the clips: 1280X720 29.97fps
Here is the picture of how my video looks on After Effects as you can see the text is wierd looking and in the settings you can see I have it on 100% and Full
This next picture below is how it looks on my Windows Media Player as you can see everything looks way nicer
Now this last image is the settings that come up on AE so that you can see my video has the right settings
If anyone can help me out with this I would really appreciate it I know there has to be a solution out there!
Thanks in advance

I recommend you read this for starters and then work your way through thze AE help, including the topic relevant here.

Ios7 caused screen to become fuzzy or jumpy

I've had my iPhone 5 just over a year now taken good care of it and have never let it fall but since I updated to iOS 7, the bottom half of the screen has become fuzzy and jumpy as if it's double vision ?. I've reset the phone but that hasn't changed and I've updated to the latest iOS but it's still the same . My warranty is up but dye to work I couldn't send it off to be repaired as my carrier would not supply me with a replacement while my phone was away ! Any ideas ? Much appreciated

I saw your post, and had found it incredulous that you have a 1920x1080 display. A bit of research and I found I was wrong.
So, it appears you are driving the panel at its native resolution. Unfortunately, trying to determine what you mean by "Fuzzy" is probably going to be like trying to nail Jello to a tree. But, let's give it a shot. Is it fuzzy before you start X? Are lines and shapes fuzzy? Or is it just text that is fuzzy?
If it is just fonts, it could be a problem with hinting. Hinting is where the edges of fonts are deliberately fuzzed and feathered to get the kerning correct when the physical pixels of the display don't quite line up. This works well, unless the thing doing the hinting does not understand the geometry of the display. In a color LCD, each pixel is actually made up of smaller sub pixels, generally three -- A red, a green, and a blue. Green is usually in the middle. Some displays have Two greens per pixel, arranged RGBG. Some displays even have yellow subpixels. Sometimes the subpixels are arranged left to right, sometimes they are arranged top to bottom. Long story short, if you have hinting enabled, but the geometry is configured incorrectly, bad things happen. Take a look at this wiki article

Cs6 3D axis widget showing up blurry/fuzzy

My 3D axis widget was showing fine( solid, clear, and visible in front of the mesh I was working on), but now It has started to switch between normal and Blurry/Fuzzy( as if it is sitting behind the mesh and the whole scene). It is very difficult to see sometimes and even more s to access it. Does anyone know of this problem, and if so, how t correct it? Also any troubleshooting advice would be helpful too.

You probably have updated/ changed something in the driver. Undo those changes and everything will be back to normal. Otehr than that you could be working at a document size you haven't worked before or invoked some setting or tool you never used before that may trigger the behavior because it's beyond your graphics chip's limited capabilities...

Opening macbook pro from sleep after some hours, login screen is blurry with progress bar?

I just got my first 13'' MBP three days ago. Both last night and the night before I closed the lid to put it to sleep overnight for about 7 hours whilst plugged into the AC as to not drain unnecessary power. In the morning when I opened the lid it was on the login page but the screen was blurry and there was a progress bar on the bottom of the screen. My sister has had a MBP for a few months but this has never happened to her. The problem only lasted about 30 seconds but is it normal? Am I maybe doing something wrong?

Did you quit out all of your applications prior to letting the MBP sleep over night?
If concerned, you can either call AppleCare or return the MBP. You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return and/or exchange w/no questions asked.

A small section of my screen is blurry.

A small section of my screen is blurry. About one inch wide and the full length of the screen. Do I need a new screen, or is there a fix?

There are a couple modules that could be defective: the LCD screen, or the main logic board. So, there is a fix and, if your computer is not covered by AppleCare, it is likely to be expensive.

Iphone 4s screen is blurry

Got my my iphone 4s back in March 2012, a few times in the past few months some of the text and apps have become blurry, but it goes away within the day. It is especially noticable in the phone app on the numbers, the message/phone/itunes, app store app icon, among others. It has been blury for two days now. I have restarted, reset, all apps are up to date, all software is up to date iso 6.0.1.
Any advice?

Take a flash light and look at the top of the iPhone where the headset plugs in. If you see a red or half red dot it's liquid exposure. Then check the dock (the opening at the bottom of the device used to charge). Under the 30 pins there will be a small circle if that is any color then white it means water damage.
If your device is not wet make an appointment for the Genius Bar at apple.com/retail

My Screen Is Blurry, Pixilated and Won't Respond To Touch In Lower Left Corner

I noticed it was sitting in some serious condensation from my icy drink earlier but it was the backside. First the lower left corner started acting strangely and wouldn't respond to touch. The screen looks blurry like I'm seeing double and then it gets slightly pixilated. It hasn't been updated yet to iOS 7.1.2 though. Wondering if I should power down and put it in the rice for 24 hours. I pulled the sim card out and checked the white to see if it turned red. It didn't, but my last phone was water damaged and it also stayed white.

Has anyone experienced anything like this from just condensation? I'm rice-bagging it for 48 hours just in case. I couldn't find anything like this online.

T61 Screen is blurry

Hi, I have T61. The screen is blurry. First I saw the error "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered." in VISTA. I have completely removed vista and install the XP still my screen is blurry. Some times while booting I am not able to see anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can i find nvidia GPU? thanks
If you post your machine type/model (i.e.: 7661-xxx, info is on the bottom of your machine) you can determine if in fact you have a model with nVidia or Intel graphics. When you say you can hardly see the screen when booting: I have this to as I have specified dynamic brightness control in Power Manager. If you turn bright. control off next time you boot the screen will come display at the last brightness level you specified whil in Windows I think.....
Back to the original problem: fuzzyness. It sounds like once XP was installed the hardware specific display driver (either nVidia or Intel) was not installed and you may be in XP's VGA mode.

My screen is blurry

My screen is blurry on my ipod nano 6g touch screen, what causes this and can it be fixed

Sometimes this helps:
hold the On/Off and Home buttons at the same time, keep holding, when you see the white apple logo let go and let it start.
When this does not help, make an appointment with Apple and let them diagnose it.
