Problem with monitors with different resolutions

Holy Mike B · March 3, 2016

So, I just got a brand new Acer 1440p monitor yesterday to use as my main monitor while being flanked by a 1080p monitor on either side. For reasons that I cannot determine, certain programs look very blurry and distorted on the 1080p monitors. Stuff like Firefox and Discord are blurred and distorted, but something like Steam has no issues what so ever. I've attached a screenshot of Firefox on one of the 1080p monitors. I've tried changing the scaling settings in Windows settings, and that fixes the blurriness, but makes everything larger than I want it to be. Any solutions to fixing this without doing that?

I have this issue as well, and the only solution I have is to leave everything scaled at 100%. I'm on a 4K Monitor, and every element is tiny, however it works well next to a 1080p monitor.

I have questions though:

Does blurriness only occur with the 1440p monitor connected or does it occur without the 1440p monitor?

Is it still blurry at 100% scaling?

Is the monitor blurriness setting set to an appropriate level?

This is windows 10 right?

The 1440p monitor is just fine. Perfectly clear and sharp. Both 1080p monitors, however, are very blurry. Windows set the 1440p monitor to change the size of text, apps, and other items to 125% by default, while the other 2 monitors are set to 100%. Even if I set the 1440p monitor to 100%, both 1080p monitors are still blurry.
