FYI: For Those with scaling issues / fuzzy screens

Screen scaling for the desktop was introduced in Windows 8.1.
This caused problems for me as it appeared that all my screens were fuzzy or out of focus when using my Display Link Dock.

I do not know if this is an issue with the beta Display Link drivers or with Windows 8.1 in general.
Regardless, to fix it - disable the (broken) screen scaling by doing the following:

Note that you will be required to log out for the changes to take effect

Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display
Put a check on "Let me choose one scaling for all my displays"
Then set the "Change the size of all items" to "Smaller - 100%"
Click Apply

(you may have to do it twice for it to work)
