    Windows 10 dual monitor - lower res monitor is blurry

    I have two monitors on my desktop computer running Windows 10.

    1- Dell 2560 x 1440
    2- HP 1920 x 1200

    In "Customize your display", if I set both monitors at 100%, everything is sharp. If I set both at 125%, everything is still sharp. But if I set the Dell at 125% and the HP at 100%, the Dell is sharp but the HP is blurry.

    I tried the registry fix that is suggested on many places on the internet (including SuperUser) but it's not working. As I understand it, this fix the issue when the monitor that is at 125% is blurry. But in my case, it's the one that is at 100% that is blurry.

    The only other person I found that had the same issue resolved it by buying another high DPI display to have 2 monitors with the same resolution and scaling. Unfortunately, I don't have the budget for such a fix... Bottom of 2nd monitor is blurry, but screenshots I take are sharp ;)

    Any idea on how I can fix this?

    Blurry 2nd Monitor when using different DPI scaling


    My main monitor is 2560x1440 and my 2nd monitor is 1920x1080. When I set both to 100% or 125% scaling they both look fine. If I set my main monitor to 125% and my 2nd monitor to 100% the 2nd monitor is blurry.

    Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to fix it?

    Thanks!

    External monitor is blurry

    Hi,

    The blurry display when using an external display may indicate a scaling issue. If the display of the internal monitor is not compatible with the external monitor, it may render a poor or fuzzy display. As an initial step, we suggest that you try the methods
    under the Workaround section provided on this
    support article    .

    Let us know should you need further assistance.
