Blurry External Monitor

[Steve_EB]

I'm connected to a 1080p external monitor via HDMI.  Certain programs - like Chrome, Edge, and RDP are very clear.  However, other programs like Outlook, Excel, Word, etc are very blurry.  Is there a setting to fix this? 

The actual laptop screen is very, very clear and I love it... but the external monitor is fuzzy on just select programs.  

Thanks

Steve.

Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

All monitors have a "native" resolution -- and this is the one setting at which their display is the sharpest.

I have no idea what that could be for your monitor, but you need to find out.

Then, right-click on your Desktop, choose Display Settings -- and confirm the external monitor is set to that native resolution.

Hi.  

Yes, it is set at the 1920 x 1080 (Recommended) resolution.

OK ... and from what you said, it is only affecting MS Office apps, right?

I found a couple of threads online that deal with this issue:

Hopefully, one of them will fix this.
