    Here's what we're dealing with
    Lenovo 710
    NVIDIA graphics card
    Windows 10
    AOC 12757 monitor

    I was expecting a 21st Century experience, but everything looks 1980s-ish. Pages fill the screen, but text and images are flattened and somewhat blurry. Fonts appear Ariel bold for most everything.

    I've tried all 3 scaling options on the NVIDIA menu, the "disable display scaling" on the app compatibility menus; adjusting the Chrome zoom levels....nada.

    And to add injury to insult, the zoom control on my ergonomic keyboard doesn't work. (Other controls are OK.)

    So in a word...HELP! TIA.

    Hi W4JTP, Welcome to WindowsBBS. :) Would you please explain when this problem occurred? Is this a new Lenovo? Have you been using W10 previously? What happened recently to cause the problem?
    As Doc has Posted a link on how to, from my experience, W10 makes the adjustments to settings on initial setup. Are all drivers up to date? Neil.

    Thanks for responding Neil. Turns out the tech had recommended DVI cable for monitor; shoulda been HDMI. (Thought that might be the case, but it's his job to know things like that.)

    Thanks for your reply - it may help others to check monitor cables. :oops:;)
