I am kicking myself. I bought a new pc and its a compact HP guy and I thought I could do it cheaper but I am having an issue.
THis is a HP prodesk, running win 11

video card is Intel® UHD Graphics 630
Computer is an intel i5

I have 2 brand new HP 32 inch monitors, both are set at 1920X1080 at 60 hz, and both have shit for sharpness on text.
color format says RGB.

I updated all windows and video drivers.
I thought this was compatible but its not looking right

I bought 4K cables, they are DP to HDMI and it's just sub par. Im like $1100 into this with and not being able to clearly see shit is not going to work.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you increase your desktop zoom to 150% and make your text size bigger? Did you try different color presets on the monitors?

Are you using the Intel Graphics software or the Windows 11 for your settings?

I have an Intel NUC nnd a Prodesk Mini and believe i use the Intel video software instead of the OS one to fix my screen size etc issues.

i only run my 46’ TV as lonely 1980x1080 display but should be a similar situation.

0-0

The custom scaling is off so it defaults to 100%

I dont know how to check which I use for settings win or intel graphics

i found the intel, i can use either i guess

Check the native resolution on those 32’s, my bet is they are QHD resolution (2560x1440). You may be asking it to downscale to FHD which will cause the fuzzy quality.

This was my first thought as well.

A 32” monitor with an actually 1080p panel will be noticeably pixelly - 32” is definitely big enough to benefit from higher resolution - but it would just look pixelly, it shouldn’t look shitty and smeary and blurry.

Shitty and smeary and blurry is what you get when you run a signal in one resolution to a panel in a different one.

i cant select that resolution, it isnt an option in win 11 or intel settings

 
Displayport --> Displayport (or mini Displayport) would be a better connection, if you have the ports at each end. Even older DP standards allow me to select 4k (3840 x 2160) @ 60Hz.

I looked up the monitors they are
HP M32f FHD Monitor
native resolution is 1920X1080{1}

that also seems to be the highest resolution it offers.

do the monitors suck?

I think you might have to get a 2k or 4k monitor to fix your resolution issue. FHD I believe refers to it being a 1k or 1080 monitor which would make things look pixilated for a monitor that size.

Yes. A 32" monitor with a native 1080p resolution sucks. 1080p usually is found on nothing bigger than a 24". Look for native 2560x1440, or native 4k (3840x2160) on a 32".

Have you tried the Adjust Cleartype Text tool? That might be worth a shot.

Looks like the HP M32f specs a hefty pixel pitch..0.364 mm

Here's a link that includes a somewhat less technical description of the effects of spreading a given number of pixels across a larger screen and thus reducing the pixel-per-inch: Viewsonics article on monitor resolution

There is a lot more to it, but this discusses your central problem:

PPI and Screen Size
Picture this – you have two monitors side by side, both with a Full HD 1080p Full HD resolution. This means that both have 1,920 horizontal pixels and 1,080 vertical pixels. Now imagine that one screen is a 32-inch screen, while the other is a 25-inch screen. Now you can see how pixel density comes into play because you will have the same number of pixels spread across a larger screen with the 32-inch monitor. Thus, the smaller monitor will have a more densely packed pixel density, resulting in smoother lines and sharper images.

As to how to proceed. If these are new, returnable, and you truly don't like them after doing software tweaks like the ones above, then send them back.
