All the fonts on my monitor screen are blurry, i can hardly read anything. When i put my computer on safe mode everything is clear, but when i run it on normal mode, everything gets fuzzy. I can't figure out what's the problem. it happened overnight. Any suggestions?

Good clue from : if everything is sharp in Safe Mode but fuzzy in normal boot, the problem is almost certainly something that loads only in normal mode (display drivers, scaling/renderer settings or a vendor utility), not the panel electronics. That observation already narrows the hunt. (support.microsoft.com) Windows Startup Settings / Safe Mode guidance

Common software causes are running at a non‑native resolution, OS DPI/scaling mismatches, or font rendering settings. Make sure the display is set to its native resolution and 100% scaling, then run the ClearType/Text‑smoothing tuner—Windows has specific fixes for blurred fonts and DPI-aware apps that help with these cases. Moving a window between displays also reveals whether the blur follows the app or the physical screen. (support.microsoft.com) Fonts appear blurry in my apps — Fix apps that appear blurry in Windows 10

Physical/link issues and on‑monitor controls are the next suspects. Reseat or swap the video cable (VGA analog can suffer phase/ghosting), try a digital cable (DVI/HDMI/DP) if available, and use the monitor’s OSD auto‑adjust or factory reset. Testing the monitor on another PC (or another monitor on this PC) quickly isolates monitor vs. PC problems. (dell.com) Monitor OSD / auto adjust and cable troubleshooting (example vendor guidance)

GPU scaling and driver-side scaling can blur images when a lower resolution is stretched. Check the graphics control panel scaling mode (set to No scaling or Integer scaling when possible) and verify the display is being driven at the monitor’s native timing. A practical sequence: set native resolution + 100% scale → run ClearType → swap cable/monitor → check GPU scaling settings → if nothing improves, try a clean driver install from the GPU maker and/or test with a different video output. If these steps still don’t clear the text, capture screenshots (to show whether the blur is in the output or a local display issue) and note exactly when the symptom began — that detail often points to a recent driver or update as the root cause.

try reinstalling your video card drivers.

You may want to try a few things before you reinstall your video drivers... Go in to the display control panel, and look at the advanced tab. (Or it may be "settings"... no OS specified) you're looking for "Hardware acceleration" When you find it, reduce it a notch until either the problem goes away or you run out of notches.

If you run out of notches, you may have to reinstall your video drivers.
