Any way to increase sharpness on Windows (browser)?

I looked in the Nvidia control panel but couldn't find it for the desktop (only video playback). It may sound odd but it'd really help me if I could find something that increases the sharpness level on the desktop rather than screenshotting and putting it through a picture viewer to edit it and increase the sharpness there.

Where? I'm in the display settings now and it's not even searchable (with the search bar).

Why do you feel the need to increase sharpness?  Sharpening is used on photos to try to rectify a lack of sharpness but a screenshot is an entirely digital source which is already perfectly sharp... any alterations would just make it looks worse.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

I agree and I understand all of this but it can make already blurry text genuinely more legible if there's little separation between them. I tested it out on text that I need to copy for my job and it makes it easier to see how many 0s (if there are multiple in a row) there are and makes it easier to tell how tall (for example) a lower case L is so I can determine that it is indeed an L and not an upper case i.

But where in the Windows interface is there blurry text?

It's not the windows interface. The reason why I mentioned in the title is because if I can find a sharpness effect to work on Windows as a whole, it'll work in the browser I use as well. Either way we're getting quite off track and no closer to an answer so, sorry if this is rude but I probably won't reply again unless there's an actual solution as I'm also trying to simultaneously work.

oh, that makes more sense... so you just want to be able to have everything you look at (presumably images of scanned documents and so on) "pre-sharpened".

 

Interesting idea, I don't think this has come up before.  I'm not aware of a way to add that in Windows but your graphics driver software might offer an option, and in addition, your monitor itself might as well.  I would check both of those.

setup a xml printer then just print images/screenshots (this type of printer is virtual and only saves files as if they were printed so should give you sharpening you like )otherwise go to control panel then find fonts and adjust the font scaler(96 by default with windows) and in color settings do a calibration (windows control panel as color management)

also adjust clear type text settings

This and the windows font scaler wouldn't work because it's not actual text, it's a picture. Basically I'm wanting something that'll apply to everything in Windows, not just text that it recognizes.
