Monitor: BenQ GW2780 1080p

Overall picture quality is fine, but the icons and text are really horrible and painful to the eyes. Text is not blurry or dull, it's actually sharp and bright, but also jagged and distorted looking like 0 anti-aliasing.

I tried connecting this monitor to two laptops one by one: 1920x1080 with HDMI and 1366x768 with VGA, text quality looks bad with both of them.

Things I have tried:

  1. Already checked the correct resolution for each display.
  2. Synced their refresh rates. My monitor was running at 59hz for some reason. Changed it to 60p hz which was same as my laptop. Nothing happened.
  3. Callibrated with clearType text settings.
  4. Used settings to make text larger. Text appears bigger less painful to eyes but still jagged.
  5. Scaled DPI settings but same effect as 4.
  6. Downloaded manufacturers drivers from website and installed.

I know it's not a natural issue of "big screen with low resolution gives bad quality" because I have used another 27" 1080p Acer monitor in my office connected to a 1366x768 resolution laptop through VGA cable and text looked great.(picture quality slightly worse than my monitor though which I don't mind).

Desperately looking for a solution.

I have the same monitor. Decrease the sharpness setting on the monitor to about 2. It worked for me.
