Well, I try to make it quick
1)    My eyes - after decades of staring at stupid computer screens - 
are bad, but NOT! the issue here.
        I could provide pictures (not screenshots) of the blurred 
display. That is not something I imagine.
        In the example I described first: why does a square have to 
have a shadow around its edge???
2)    My hardware is fine (I use expensive monitors); Lotus123 producing 
clear images proves that.
3)    I do use/have 3 different Windows versions AND 4 different Linux 
(ubuntu based) flavors installed.
        The latter are only marginally better.
4)    Windows settings: I spent dozens of hours searching the net for 
solutions and tried just about EVERYTHING that can be found.
        Even editing the registry to change the system font!
        The technical support staff of the computer maker and other 
computer specialists I have asked have NO ANSWERS.

20 years ago EVERY computer on the planet produced clear images, 
although a little ragged around the edges.
If that was possible decades ago, I fail to see why should be impossible 
today.
