Annoyed

There are several potential reasons why text on an external monitor connected to a Mac mini might appear blurry or not as sharp as you expect. Here are a few possibilities to consider:

  1. Resolution mismatch: If the resolution of the external monitor is not set to match the native resolution of the display, text and other elements might appear blurry or distorted. You can adjust the resolution in the "Displays" preference pane in the System Preferences app on your Mac.
  2. DPI scaling: Some monitors have a higher pixel density (also known as DPI or PPI) than others, which can make text and other elements appear smaller or larger on the screen. You can adjust the DPI scaling in the "Displays" preference pane in the System Preferences app on your Mac.
  3. Graphics settings: If you are using a graphics-intensive app or game, your Mac's graphics settings might be set to a lower quality to improve performance. This can result in text and other elements appearing less sharp on the screen. You can adjust the graphics settings in the "Energy Saver" preference pane in the System Preferences app on your Mac.
  4. Cable or connection issues: If you are using a low-quality or damaged cable to connect the Mac mini to the external monitor, the video signal might be degraded, which can result in blurry or distorted text and other elements. Make sure you are using a high-quality, well-maintained cable, and try different ports on both the Mac mini and the external monitor to see if that helps.
  5. Monitor issues: Finally, it's possible that there is an issue with the external monitor itself that is causing the text to appear blurry or distorted. This could be due to a hardware problem with the display, or it could be related to the monitor's settings. If you have tried all of the above steps and the text is still not as sharp as you expect, it might be worth trying a different external monitor to see if that resolves the issue.
