Text Look Blurry on win10 HD monitor

[Ant316]

I just got a new win10 PC with a 24 inch HD monitor over the Xmas period. I have been using AMC for a very very long time and love it but when i use it on my new PC the text inside the programme (Movie titles, Labels ect) Look very blurred and hard to read compared to y win 7 PC. Other programmes look 100%. Can anyone help me fix this as its very annoying?

Thanks

can the font be changed or is this an issue with the dpi settings?

I suppose this happens when the text size is set to more than 100% in win10.
There may be some way to specify how the application should be scaled, I haven't much checked that yet.

Thanks for replying. Yes i have to set my win10 scale to 150 as anything lower makes all look very small on my 24" HD monitor.
is there any way we can fix this so that the AMC doesn't look blurred?

Thanks

As I said, I haven't much checked how to do that.
Maybe try this:

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-impr ... windows-10

There are three ways an old/classic app like AMC can behave:
- no scaling at all
- scaling by simply zooming everything, giving blurry texts
- scaling fonts - this was used by old Windows version and is more or less supported by AMC (95% of the items will display fine, some may be truncated)

I assume these three settings match the compatibility choices mentioned in these articles

Just an update

This worked great.
I used the "high dpi scaling override" option set to "System (Enhance)" in the Compatibility Menu. I have a 24" Full HD monitor with my resolution set to the Native 1920 x 1080 and my win 10 scaling at 150%. AMC looks pretty good at this under these settings and is very usable.

Many thanks for your help

Thanks for the feedback, this can be useful to others then.
Normally I think I should be able to include in AMC something that make Windows use that setting by default.
