Setting both correctly can fix usability and render quality problems, like a blurred screen.<\/p>\n<p>A low-resolution display could be described as \u201cblurry\u201d since lower resolutions result in larger visible pixels.\u00a0Scaling settings allow Windows to scale up or down the UI (user interface) depending on pixel density so that UI elements don\u2019t appear too small on a monitor with high pixel density.<\/p>\n<p>Both can be adjusted under Settings &gt; System &gt; Display. First,\u00a0increase your screen resolution to increase pixel density (Windows will have a \u201crecommended\u201d setting for your display). You can then set scaling independently on any of your attached monitors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-850770\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/windows_scale_resolution.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Set scaling and resolution modes in Windows 11\" width=\"650\" height=\"318\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enable_ClearType_for_Blurry_Text\"><\/span>Enable ClearType for Blurry Text<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If text appears blurry, pixelated, or hard to read on Windows 11, adjusting your font settings to make sure ClearType is enabled can help.
