Very blurry screen on new HP Envy i7

[MunchkinK]

I have just got a new HP Envy i7 laptop. The display is absolutely awful. Google pages or any web page looks faded a slightly out of focus. Even in apps like word and excel. The lighting in awful it’s worse than my cheap old laptop . I went into setting they is only one display option. I optimised the video playback and put on optimum picture quality and it has made no difference.
