Windows 7 is a very popular operating system because of its reliability and simplicity. Users can still experience issues, such as a distorted screen. It can be caused by outdated drivers, incorrect settings for resolution, or hardware issues. This article will guide you through the various ways to fix a blurry Windows 7 screen.

Please check your screen resolution

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Click on the desktop and choose Screen resolution.
2. Make sure that your screen resolution is set to the recommended setting for your monitor.
3. Click on the drop-down menu to select the recommended resolution if the resolution is not the same.
4. Click OK, then Apply. The screen should now be refreshed and the blurriness will disappear.

If you cannot solve the issue by adjusting your screen resolution, the problem could be with your graphics driver.

Update your graphics drivers

How to Update Graphics Drivers

1. Click Start, and then type Device Management in the search box.
2. Expand the Display Adapters Category in Device Manager.
3. Select Update driver software by right-clicking on your graphics device.
4. Install any updates that are available by following the prompts.
5. Start your computer to make the changes take effect.

DPI scaling may be the cause of your problem if it persists even after you have updated your graphics driver.

DPI Scaling

DPI Scaling Instructions

1. Click on the desktop and choose Screen resolution.
2. Click on to make text and other items bigger or smaller.
3. Check to see if the option Select one scaling level across all my displays has been selected. Select it if not.
4. Sliders are available to select the DPI scale. The higher the DPI, the bigger the items will appear on your screen. However, this may also cause blurriness.
5. Click Apply, then Ok.

If blurriness persists, a hardware problem could be the cause.

Check Monitors and Cables

Evaluation of Hardware Issues

Try a different monitor or connect your computer to your television. If the blurriness goes away on the new screen then it is likely a problem with your cables or monitor.

1. Reconnect your monitor cable. Check to see if your cable is damaged, or not connected properly.
2. If available, test with a different cable or monitor.

If none of these steps works, you may need professional help.
