I am having problem with blurry/fuzzy fonts in Win7 build 7600 64bit. Some fonts in control panel are really blurry. You can check attached picture. This blurriness actually makes me dizzy :twitch:. Also display in Win7 is kinda foggy compared to XP where everything is clear and crisp.

I am using latest graphic drivers and monitor drivers + intelchipset is installed. Fullscreen games are also kinda foggy compared to XP.
I have smooth fonts (cleartype) disabled.
In search of a solution. Anyone?
Regards.

Does Cleartype make it worse? Did you try different settings for Cleartype?

sounds like your not in your native resolution, check what your monitor is and set it manually.

Monitor uses 1680x1050@60Hz which is used in Win7. I didn't adjust cleartype since all 5 other patterns are even worse.
