When using programs like Google Chrome, the text appears fuzzy/blurry (best description I can give) whereas when using MS Office products each font has a very distinct clean edle. Is this something unique to the 13 inch display? Is there as a setting I'm not checking? In addition, this happens with all pop-up screens regardless of program.

Did you find a solution to this problem? I had fixed it with some settings changes but then I had to exchange the notebook for a new one, due to other issues. Now I can't seem to remember exactly what I had done that fixed the issue.

I'm just learning to live with it. But in all honesty, had I known about this, would have never bought this computer.
Blurry:
1. Google Chrome
2. OS Popup Message / Print Dialogs
3. Some non-MS Office software
Cleaner:
1. Mozilla / Explorer
No Problems / Clean:
MS Office Suite

SOLVED:
I've been living with the same blurry/fuzzy resolution ever since I got my laptop back in June. On a whim I decided to search the web for any fixes and I stumbled on to this forum. Since there were no posted fixes/solutions I tried again to adjust the display settings again and finally found a fix! Here are the steps I took:
On Windows 10 Home Edition
-Go to Control Panel (right-click the start icon on the taskbar and select 'control panel' on the list)
-If your Control Panel is not already fully displayed, click 'View by: category' toward the top-right corner of the screen, select large/small icons, either one is up to you.
-Next Click 'Display'.
- Under the paragraph titled 'Change size of items' click 'set a custom scaling level' underlined in the paragraph. I noticed that mine was set at 150%. I decreased it to 110% and then logged out as prompted.
-When I logged back in everything on the screen was scaled down and blurry/fuzzyness was gone!
Hope this helps someone out there.
UPDATE: You can also adjust the Display by going to 'Settings' then 'Display' and adjusting the slide bar in the middle of the screen to change the size of display items. This option doesn't give you as much finite granular control of the scaling as does going through the Display settings in Control Panel.
Cheers
