Laptop has very bad graphics in certain circumstances

Hey guys,

 

I have a Lenovo Ideapad 320s 15" (really great laptop for university I can highly recommend) and ever since I got it, about 2 years ago, I had a very strange problem with it.

 

In certain applications, the graphics are pretty bad and look very blurry. Watching youtube videos or doing general office work works without any problems whatsoever and the graphics are "crisp af", if I may say. The Ideapad320s has a dedicated graphics card, the GT920MX with 2GB VRAM. I tried fiddling around with the options but nothing seemed to be of any help nor did it do anything.

 

I took a screenshot of how the text I'm writing right now vs. the CPU-Z window as an example to further "support my case". Obviously, PC graphics are completely different from mobile graphics but I never had that problem even when I had the MSI Aero ITX 1050 (which has 2GB VRAM as well) about 4 to 5 months ago. On the attached screenshot you can better see what I mean and the difference in detail: the very sharp and crisp-looking text I'm writing right now and the blurry text on the cpu-z window.

It doesn't look too bad to be honest. If it's mainly text you're having issues with, you can try going through the ClearType setup in windows, maybe that will help.
