Question

Menu font/text is blurry/unsharp in 19.1.0

After the photoshop update to 19.1.0 many menu texts (but not all) are blurry now.

E.g. layers have an unsharp text.

See the screenshot:

Any ideas how to resolve this?

I have the same problem too. I'm using two HP E243i monitors, both on their native 1920x1200 resolution, run by a Geforce NTX 1080. I run Windows 10 Enterprise N (1809). Photoshop is as sharp as ever, but since updating to Premiere 16 or 17 (I think) the UI in Premiere has been blurry. It looks as if it's running on the wrong screen resolution. Blurry fonts and rows of pixels that seem to disappear or be doubled. E.g. clips on the timeline that are perfectly stuck together with no frames in between can look as if there is a small gap between them. But if I zoom in, tha gap disappears, or shows up between two other clips. 

I don't know if it has something to do with Windows 10 or what, but it's really annoying. I have checked all settings, tried different screen resolutions, but everything else looks fine, and since there are no settings for these kinds of issues in Premiere there's not much I can do.

Same issue here, with the newest version. Have tried downgrading version by version until the oldest version I couldnt downgrade to, but it didnt help.

To me it looks like you have two 1680x1050 displays. If both are Desktop displays  I believe neither would be high dpi resolution displays the need to be scaled. If one is a Laptop display that is being scaled to a lower resolution that is not and even multiple of the native resolution what is displayed may be a little softer the the none scaled.     CC 2018 Adobe scaling could only do 2X scaling and would have scaled both displays 2x.  With CC 2018.1 Displays can be scaled separately according to Windows Display settings which I asked for you.   Can you please describe your hardware and show all setting related to scaling and which is doing any scaling  Application or System.

Hi Guys.

I read every question, replies and answers and I cannot see why all those question arised.

Here is an example of what the question was about.

If you look at the picture I just sent attached, on the left, writings are already dimmed compared to the right image. Offive 365 is clear and crisp on the right but really poor quality on the left and it can lead to eye fatigue if you work for a long time in an app like illustrator or photoshop.

and No JJMack, resolution is not an issue. Because I use 1 Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen7 2020 with 10 cores, with 2 DELL 24inches, side by side, all 3 displays are at a reslution of 1920x1080, which is native for the displays and the graphic card. If it would be my graphic card, it would be the same on both display.

The picture is a simple file open on the left side with Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, which I've been using for many years and never had that problem until spring of 2019 and it was crisp and clean like the picture on the right that I opened with Microsoft Edge from Windows 10.

The only app that display uglyy jagged and blurry fonts is Adobe product and for me it changed only after I subscribed for Adobe Illustrator CC and Adobe Photoshop CC last year and then stopped.

ADOBE for any Apps, CC or not, have change something that is not good at all.

I've tried eveything you suggested and also on many other sites, inside Adobe products preferences and/or Windows 7, 10 and since last juin, when I stopped using Adobe product and reinstalled Adobe Accrobat 9.55 Standard and it never cameback to the font quality I used to have.

And when I subscribe again, all is funny, that new install doesn't do that. I paused for 1 month, paying per month and then came back to finish my work and I lost that display font quality again.

With all the time I put into this, I just let the Adobe product go and I keep only them when there is nothing else to use and I export my work to another software that respect permanent licencing. I'm sorry for those who are designers that really need Adobe to make a living because there is really no need to update after CS6 permanent licence. From all the people I know that uses Illustrator and other Adobe products, even if that problem makes it hard for your eyes (fatigue) to work on a long period of time, somebody that uses a version that change every month, at some point stop looking at all the new stuff and those who do, lose a lot of time ajusting instead of really working and produce. And all that energy that Adobe put into making the permanent licence customers hell, is far from being professional.

The screen capture you posted is 1760x758px to me this seems very odd.  I do not think you running your display at its native resolution. If that is the case I would think that its your display firmware scaling that is producing the blur. LCD should be run at their native resolution,
