Squished text on monitors

[Nexxus]

Dunno why this is happening or when it started or what but on my monitors text is being le-durp, how I fix?

 

I should ad this comp gets swapped between my TV and the 3 24" monitors back and forth and the issue isnt present on the tv, each screen is 1920X1080 and it only seems to be web browsers this is happening

It looks clear in the screenshot you put up.

 

This is what i see....

Dog face = Really cheap (gaming headset) in Sweden?

Random man sitting in a chair = New set up but too much glare?

 

Maybe it is the font type/size on your system?

 

Try taking a picture of it and not a screenshot and post that.

the "New set up but too much glare?" should have a row of pixels missing in the center. But ya one sec.

its most noticeable in the "e" "s" and "a" on misanthorpes thread. it seems to be in consistent set places on the display too that it does this

Yeah now i see it. It is most likely a "shit" spot on the monitor because all the other letters higher and lower of the same type are proper.

its not the monitor, I rebooted and its gone, and when it does come up it persists on any of my 3 displays.

Is it in the same spot when it shows up or randomly anywhere? GPU/driver error maybe?

I think it does but I havent been paying close enough attention to be honest.

Pay attention to it otherwise it will be hard to diagnose if you  don't. 

 

One thing, why do you swap between your monitors and the tv?...don't you have all connected at the same time?

Yes they are all plugged into the 1st card, but the TV is literally 180 degrees behind you when using the monitors..so

The TV is for browsing in bed,controler gaming in bed, monitors are for when Im at the desk

Well that is not "switching" i have the same but in my entertainment area, the big tv is for watching movies and youtube videos and monitors are for gaming and system monitoring.

 

The tv being 180 degrees behind should have no effect however, from my experience, this could be very hard to diagnose. It could be OS, monitor driver, GPU, GPU driver or cable related or a combination. Have you tried reinstalling drivers to see if it fixes the problem? Try it.

Switching as in switching the output from the 3 monitors to the 1 TV I dont  output to all 4 at the same time.

Then this could be the problem. Try outputting to all at the same time and see if you get the problem. 

 

Do you use "extend these displays" or "duplicate" in windows display settings? Switching back and forth to the different resolutions and refresh rates may be causing this.

ive been doing this for month its literally something that just came up in the past few weeks, but extend.

This is going to be a tough one IMO.  Fresh install should do the trick though. What about reinstaling the drivers for the monitor, generic plug n play and GPU? Try that too.

I get the same text issue. However I use two monitors and the one it happens to is the one that getting an output from my AVR. Sometimes when I switch sources on my avr for console gaming, turn it off, back on and come back to the PC source. The text appears that way. It's random and can't precisely make it happen but thought I'd mention it here. Is the monitor in question on a switch of some kind?

Weird. Please do update us once you find a fix. Should be helpful for google searches in the future.
