Hi @jt0121,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If you're experiencing slightly blurry text on your HP M24f FHD monitor despite trying different troubleshooting steps like restarting, changing HDMI cords, adjusting display resolution, and updating drivers, there are a few additional steps you can try.
- Check monitor settings: Sometimes, monitors have settings that can affect the sharpness of text. Look for options related to sharpness, text enhancement, or any other settings that might affect the display quality. Ensure these settings are optimized for text clarity.
- Check cable connections: Make sure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both your computer and the monitor. Sometimes, loose connections can cause display issues.
- Calibrate ClearType: If you're using Windows, you can calibrate ClearType to improve text readability. To do this, type "ClearType" in the Windows search bar and open "Adjust ClearType text." Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate ClearType for your monitor.
- Check monitor for physical issues: Inspect the monitor for any physical damage or defects that might be causing the blurry text.
- Try a different monitor: If possible, try connecting a different monitor to your computer to see if the issue persists. This will help determine if the problem is with the monitor itself or another component of your setup.
- Update graphics card drivers: Ensure that your graphics card drivers are up to date. Sometimes outdated or incompatible drivers can cause display issues.
- Test on a different computer: If you have access to another computer, try connecting your monitor to it to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is specific to your computer or the monitor itself.
- Reset monitor settings: If you've made changes to the monitor settings, try resetting them to their default values to see if that resolves the issue.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.

Adlen gives good advice. But we, in our world of high resolution imaging see something he did not mention.
The defaults for larger size/higher resolution monitors in Microsoft's recent OSs is to compensate by making each resulting smaller pixel (each smaller picture element) bigger. So, for a 2MP monitor each pixel is presented at 100%, which is fine. However, for a 3MP monitor each pixel is presented by default at 125% size. For our 5MP monitors each is presented by default at about 150% size. That is, rather than a 1:1 ratio each true picture element is magnified artificially to make the monitors and the alphanumerics look more uniform. This, by default, introduces a small degree of blurring into images, and into text also.
This is not good for looking at critical fine details.
The solution: Go into the Settings/ System/ Display/ Scale & layout/ if you have highlighted a 1200 x 1600 display you'll see "100% (Recommended)" as the dropdown default for Scale. If you have highlighted a 3MP monitor you'll see 125%; if 5MP you'll see 150%. For us we want all monitors to only be at 100%. To get that, click on the right arrowhead there. Under Custom Scaling enter 100, then click on the checkbox, then click on Sign out now. All attached monitors will thereafter be running at 100% pixel for pixel, with no artificial blurring. Whenever I see slightly blurred lettering on our monitors that is the first thing I check.
