Here is a screenshot, videos look off, not sure what setting is wrong, but they are not right. It's like I am looking through some film or haze.

LG UltraGear 32GR93U, it is native res. & Global Scale 300%. Vision issues, to tiny if scale isn't increased. It is like, a yiny lir the ID card pocket in walets have. You can see through it, but it is not crisp.

No odd setting, just reg setting in both OSes, onl lower res in Windows. The shot is from Linux though.Not all vids are blown out like that also. The Widows install is old though, so that might be Windows rot. Mortal Online 2 looks awesome though, so I don't get it. Like HWINFO is not lookin right. The screen not the info.

Just general tips - make sure you are using full range RGB and the scaling options like 300% and 90% as seen in the screenshot will make for uneven pixel sizes. Make sure no weird HDR settings are in effect.

Not sure what pixel layout that monitor has but some BGR, etc. layout displays can look a bit odd at closer viewing distance.

EDIT: The reviews for that monitor mention limited contrast with blacks looking grey which won't help.

I do have the scale at 300$ so that is prob. it. 4k vids look awesome though. I heard about 4k maybe 25ish years back & the US still doesn't broadcast in 4k, strange IMO.

Rather than scaling everything up, have you tried just setting the desktop resolution to 1080P (so at least it's going to do integer pixel scaling, i.e. each pixel will be doubled in height and width) ?

The DPI Scaling options on windows in particular can make everything look odd, and if you're eyesight is that bad, I doubt you'll see the tiny differences in detail between 1080P and 4K video anyway.

This is in Linux.
