not work, you probably have one of the older video cards
and cannot achieve a widescreen resolution. You’ll need to
upgrade your video card to a newer one.
Sometimes having older video cards this type of problem
might happen due to newer LEDs having to provide HD
video capability and not being fully compatible with older
video cards. You can try adjusting the contrast to a lower
value and adjust the brightness to compensate.
Are you using the monitor’s native resolution? If not you’ll
need to switch resolution to the native 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz
to make the words clearer.
If the words are still blurry, please try enabling or disabling
CLEAR TYPE function from windows.
Sometimes the colors are not correct because your DVI or
DP or HDMI cable is loose or corrupt. Please try
reconnecting your cable or swap out your current cable to
see if the problem persists.
