By default Windows have it's DPI settings at 100% (96dpi), which is normal.

It must also be noted that Windows 8.1 is not official released, you only have the RTM version. It will be released tomorrow.

If everything is blurry, it means that the resolution is probably not your monitor native resolution, or you are using VGA connector. Make sure that you are using DVI or DisplayPort connector. To set your monitor to it's native resolution, right-click on the desktop, and select Screen Resolution, from there change the resolution to your monitor resolution (max value you can pick, normally)

If you think Windows 8.1 increased the DPI on you, can adjust it, by right-clicking on the desktop, and select Screen Resolution, then click on "Make text and other items larger or smaller".

From there you can adjust the DPI setting.

It will be released tomorrow.

Maybe for you, If you have windows 8, the updates start today, in about 7-8hours or so. (and it's free)
