Fuzzy Text issue

Suddenly, my text looks interpolated (non-native resolution), causing some artifacts and pixelation, and not clear in general.

It's not even ALL of the text but parts of it and the issue comes and goes. So, it's weird to me.

Your DPI scaling might be misconfigured.

Right-click desktop -> Screen Resolution -> Make text and other items larger or smaller -> Set custom text size (on the right).

Make sure "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling" is checked.

Thanks for all the help!!!

I forgot to give more details, my monitor is new (Asus VS229H) but I've had it since Xmas without any problems whatsoever. I'm running at 1080. My GPU is a 4870. My CPU is the AMD 955 quad.

I've been playing around the settings in the resolution, browsers and Windows and can't figure it out so far. I also use the "nosquint" plug-in to make the text a bit larger so it'll be easier for me to read since I spend so much time working on my PC.

This all started happening just this week and it comes and goes, which is really odd. It'll go away for a little bit if I minimize the browser but, it comes back shortly afterward.

Right now, I'm at 125% DPI and already have Windows XP style DPI scaling checked.
