Samsung CHG70 Fuzzy text

[Planetdune]

After returning two monitors to the store I finally settled on the Samsung CHG70 32" model. The screen size is perfect, the Freesync turned off (have a nivdia card), I selected 100hz as 144 is overkill anyway. All fine and dandy... EXCEPT.. the text is a bit fuzzy... I thought with the upgrade to a 2k screen from my old non gaming 1080 monitor would make things clearer, yet it does the opposite...

I have my old monitor also connected as a second monitor now and when I drag a window from my new screen to the old it is very clear.. the colors are better on my new screen. My games are smoother as well, yet when I drag a word document or browser to my old screen the text gets clearer..

Should I return this monitor as well? The store is probably going to start being annoyed as this is the third one in a month.

People like you are gonna be the reason they are gonna abolish laws about consumer protection and we are all gonna get owned.

Try to find the Sharpness setting in your new monitor, maybe it will help, otherwise it can simply be something else bugging out, had the same issue when i went from an older screen to a newer years ago, nvidia was the cause and a format was required cause i couldnt find for the life of me what was causing it.

Make sure your scaling is at 100% not higher

The weird part is, at 125 or even better, 150% the text looks good. Way to big of course but good. At 100% it looks fuzzy (but correct size).

set it to 100% and run calibration
is the resolution set to max monitor allows?
