Re: [libreoffice-users] blurred display

Blurred screen fonts?
Somewhere there should be a section in the Control Panel for choosing
the best looking "display style" for fonts on you version of Windows. If
memory is correct, you usually get 4 choices for your best viewing.

To be honest, I have had no "blurred fonts" with all my different
systems, over the years, using Vista through Windows 10. Of course, if I
could not install Win7 on a Win XP system, it got a distro of Linux,
usually a Ubuntu based one, installed to help keep its OS "more modern".
I tend to use Linux Mint and Ubuntu - both with MATE for its desktop
environment.

Just for a check-see, why don't you download and run the live CD/DVD of
Ubuntu or Linux Mint. See of the live testing, which will not install
the OS on your system unless you ask it to within the test cycle. Since
you seem to indicate you have tried this method, and you still not
getting results.

IF your display[s] are still blurred after testing live CD/DVD version
of Linux on your hardware, then you may need to look into either
hardware issues, monitor issues, or even have your eyes checked. I had
to get trifocals, instead of keeping bifocals, the last time I got
glasses so it would be much easier to read/see my monitors.

SO, if you are getting quote " of displaying clear, distinct images
(graphics, characters .. everything) ", you really need to think more
about either you systems' hardware or your eyes. My eyes were the
problem a few years ago, and went away with my new glasses.


On a different note . . .

To be honest, the Live CD/DVD testing of the package is what help me
decide which distro to use on my first "proper" laptop. Only Ubuntu 9.3
would would with my laptop's sound "chip" during the live disc testing.
The rest did not allow the sound to work at all. Since then, I have had
at least one Linux system running nearly 24/7 and since version
9.10/10.3, it has been my default OS. Actually I have in my place a
Linux system, of various distros, since 2004 or 2005. I just did not use
it often.
