Default Windows 10 + Display Link Text Blurry

Hi There,

Upgraded to W10 and installed the latest DisplayLink drivers. However the monitor appears almost blurry. Text is quite hard to read, It remands me of what it looks like when the old DisplayLink "Video Mode" was enabled. But I cannot find this feature in the W10 version. The monitor is running at its native resolution and DPI is not enabled. It only affects the DisplayLink adapter connected monitor.

Cheers,
Ben

I have the same issue. The texts appear very blurry, especially smallest

James,

As stated in my original post, I have confirmed that it is not DPI, all monitors are set to 100%. In fact, I have two monitors that are exactly the same model, whichever one I plug into the DisplayLink adapter has the blurry text. See photos from my phone for comparison (Zipped as the lower res pics don't show it well enough). Screenshots are useless as the issue is with the display, not the windows rendering of windows.

I have updated to the version released yesterday (27th Aug) and it has made no difference. Really disappoint in the lack of response and support on this.

Really happy to work with your team to get this resolved as it's often very had to use the monitor for anything with text on it.

Hi,

I'm trying to repro this at the moment.

In the meantime can you try the following?
1. Hit the auto adjust button on your monitor
2. Try a lower resolution (do you still get a blurry output?)
3. If you have one a different monitor
4. If you have one a different USB adapter

Thanks,
James

1. No change with auto adjustments.
2. I've lowered it but makes it hard to see if it's still there because its then blurry for a different reason. But moving windows very slowly still has the same weird jutter effect. Its almost like every so often, two pixels have been merged into one.
3. Don't have another monitor to try it on, other than the identicle one.
4. I've tried another USB adapter, and it has the exact same issue.

Hi.

In my case, the problem began to install the Windows 10 update.
I went back to Windows 8.1 and continued the problem until I returned to install the old application. I reinstalled Windows 10 and continued to have the problem of blurred fonts.

@softek

Can you attach the output of this tool so I can try and replicate your setup?
