Настройка резкости монитора windows 11

Помогла ли Вам статья?

Доброго здравия!

Не многие (оказывается) знают, что в Windows 10 (11) есть спец. инструмент для калибровки цветности и четкости текста на экране. Этот инструмент может весьма помочь в до-настройке монитора (особенно, если у него мало своих «родных» настроек в меню).

Ниже в заметке покажу как запустить такую калибровку и настройку.

Важные ремарки:

1. в заметке я не буду касаться профессиональных подходов и инструментов, речь идет только о штатных инструментах Windows;
2. вам понадобится учетная запись 📌администратора (если это ваш домашний ПК — вероятно, вы за ней и работаете).

Настройка четкости и цвета изображения

ШАГ 1: калибровка цветности

Запуск мастера

Для запуска мастера настройки можно прибегнуть к двум способам:

1. 👉👉 Вариант 1: нажать сочетание WIN+R, и использовать команду dccw в окне «Выполнить» (далее запустится мастер);
2. 👉👉 Вариант 2: войти в параметры Windows, и открыть расширенные настройки дисплея.

   

   Расширенные параметры дисплея

   Далее указать свой дисплей (актуально, если у вас их несколько) и открыть его свойства; 👇

   

   Свойства видеоадаптера

   Затем перейти во вкладку «Управление цветом» и запустить калибровку, см. пример ниже. 👇

   

   Управление цветом

   

   Откалибровать экран

Параметры в мастере настроек

Первый шаг ничего не предполагает, кроме нажатия на кнопку «Далее». 😉

Затем нам покажут образец гаммы, и попросят вручную выставить ползунок ее корректировки в оптимальное для вас значение. Здесь следует ориентироваться только на чувствительность своих глаз и работу конкретного монитора.

После запуститься корректировка яркости: ее нужно выставить так, чтобы темная рубашка на мужчине не сливалась с темным фоном (а буква «Х» была заметка на однотонном фоне). 👇

Что касается контрастности: посмотрите на белую рубашку на мужчине (картинка ниже) — хорошо ли видны пуговицы и складки на вашем мониторе? Контрастность должна быть на таком уровне, чтобы их было видно наилучшим образом.

Настройка цветового баланса здесь стандартная: нужно перемещать ползунки так, чтобы большие полосы остались макс. серыми (без примесей других цветов).

Далее вы можете сравнить текущую калибровку с прежней (которая использовалась до настройки) — если всё в порядке — нажмите кнопку «Готово», чтобы сохранить настройки. 👇

*

ШАГ 2: четкость текста

Если вы не сняли галочку в конце калибровки цветности — мастер для настройки отображения текста должен запуститься автоматически (если не запустился: нажмите Win+R, и используйте команду cttune). 👇

📌 Что нужно делать: Windows представит вам несколько образцов текста на экране — вам потребуется выбрать наиболее четкий фрагмент. Затем задача повториться, и так несколько раз! См. пример ниже. 👇

Важно: выбирайте фрагменты не так, как показано у меня в примере — а тот, который наиболее четко показывается именно на вашем мониторе!

По завершению этого теста — Windows автоматически сама применит все необходимые изменения.

*

ШАГ 3: ночной режим, откл. синеву

Кстати, в рамках этой заметки не могу не порекомендовать опцию ночного режима в Windows. С ее помощью можно немного снизить яркую белизну/синеву от экрана, благодаря чему глаза меньше устают (причем, использовать опцию можно и днем и ночью, несмотря на ее название).

Как включить ночной режим (настроить температуру цветности монитора), чтобы не уставали глаза

В Windows 11, кстати, настроить ночной режим можно во вкладке «Система / дисплей».

Кроме этого, в 📌комп. онлайн-магазинах есть спец. очки, выполняющие похожую задачу (могут быть полезны, если в вашей ОС нет данной настройки или качество ее работы не устраивает).

Полезные штуки для снижения вреда здоровью от компьютера (для тех, у кого устают кисти рук, спина, глаза и пр.)

Regain clarity on Windows 11 with these tricks to fix a blurry screen.

Windows supports up to 128 million pixels of desktop resolution. So, theoretically, you can use multiple high-resolution displays and still not encounter any issues. But many users report blurry screen issues on Windows 11. The problem ruins their overall visual experience because the screen elements appear distorted.

If you face the same problem, don’t worry. We will list out all the possible methods to remove the screen blurriness and make the screen elements sharp and easy to read.

How to Fix Blurry Screen Issues on Windows 11

Here are the following methods you can try to remove the blurry screen issue on your Windows 11 system.

1. Restart Your System

Before trying out any major troubleshooting method, restart your system. Restarting your computer can fix common issues with services and background programs. Press Alt + F4 and select the Restart option from the list. After the computer restarts, launch any program and check if the blurriness issue is still there.

2. Tweak the Display Resolution and Scaling

Lower screen resolution settings can make the screen element look grainy. However, low scaling settings on a high-resolution display can make matters even worse. So, you need to adjust these two display settings.

To adjust the display resolution and scaling on Windows 11, do as follows:

1. Press Win + R to open the Run command box. Type ms-settings:display and press the Enter key.
2. Click on the Display Resolution option and set it to the resolution Windows recommends for your display.
3. Apply the resolution and if the blur is still noticeable, click on the Scale option.
   
4. If the recommended scale settings look very small and unreadable, pick the higher scaling percentage option from the list.

3. Enable ClearType Text

Microsoft bundles the ClearType technology which reduces the visible pixelation in fonts. If you experience blurry screen elements including text, you can use ClearType Text Tuner to fix the issue.

To enable ClearType Text on Windows 11, repeat the following steps:

1. Press Win + S and type ClearType. Click on the Adjust ClearType text option in the search results.
2. Click on the Turn on ClearType checkbox. Then click on the Next button.
3. Pick the text sample that looks the best on your display and click on the Next button.
   
4. Repeat this process for all text samples.
5. Lastly, click on the Finish button to apply the new text rendering settings.

4. Change Application Graphics Preference

If you experience blurriness with a specific app, you can adjust the graphics settings to solve the issue. It will drive more GPU power to the app and improve its visual appearance.

Here’s how to change graphics settings for an app on Windows 11:

1. Press Win + I to launch the Settings app.
2. Navigate to System > Display > Graphics.
3. Select the app to change its graphics settings and click on the Options button.
4. Now, click on the High Performance radio button.
   
5. Lastly, click on the Save button to save the new graphics settings.
6. Run the app and check if the screen element appears blurry or not.

5. Switch to the Best Appearance Settings

Windows offers three visual effects modes. If you use the «Best Performance» mode, it removes all visual effects and the result looks washed out and grainy. However, switching to the «Best Appearance» mode can offer the best possible visual experience and remove blur.

Repeat the following steps to apply the best appearance settings on your system:

1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box. Type sysdm.cpl and press the enter key to open the System Properties utility.
2. Navigate to the Performance section and click on the Settings button.
3. Select the Adjust for best appearance radio button. Click on the Apply button.
   
4. Finally, click on the OK button and exit the System Properties window.

6. Adjust App DPI Settings

Another method to remove blurry text on Windows is using the Program DPI settings. If an app or program doesn’t automatically scale up to the default settings, you can override the high DPI scaling to improve the clarity and text sharpness.

Retrace the following steps to adjust the app DPI settings:

1. Press Win + E to launch the File Explorer and navigate to the program executable file location.
2. Click on the program icon and then press Alt + Enter to open the Properties window.
3. Switch to the Compatibility tab and click on the Change high DPI settings button.
4. Now, click on the Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings checkbox.
5. Next, enable the Override high DPI scaling behavior checkbox as well.
   
6. Lastly, click on the OK button and close the Properties window.

7. Update Your Graphics Driver

An outdated GPU driver can run into compatibility issues with programs. Updating the GPU drivers can resolve the issue. Here’s how to update the GPU drivers on your system:

1. Press Win + X to launch the Power user menu and click on the Device Manager option.
2. Scroll down and expand the Display Adapters section.
3. Right-click on the GPU and select the Update driver option from the list.
   
4. Click on the Search automatically for drivers option and wait for the utility to download and install the latest GPU drivers.
5. Restart your system and run an app to check if the screen elements appear sharp or not.

Device Manager isn’t the best for finding new drivers, so if the above trick doesn’t work out, check out how to update AMD graphics cards or how to update Nvidia graphics cards, depending on your GPU’s model.

8. Roll Back the Latest Windows Update

If the blurry screen issue appears after a recent Windows update, you can try rolling back to the previous version. New updates can have bugs that wreck your system’s performance.

Here’s how to roll back a recent Windows update:

1. Press Win + R to launch the Run command box.
2. Type appwiz.cpl and press the enter key to launch the Programs and Features utility.
3. Click on the View installed updates option.
4. Scroll down and locate the most recent update installation.
5. Then, click on the Uninstall button and follow the onscreen prompts to remove the update from your system.

9. Use System Restore or Reset Your PC

System Restore lets you roll back Windows to a previous state. If you encounter a screen blur issue after a recent program installation or update, you can use system restore to roll back to a state where things worked better. However, your system needs to have existing restore points saved to use this feature.

If you don’t see any restore points available in the System Restore utility, then resetting Windows 11 is your last resort. Ensure that you back up all your data or use the in-place upgrade to keep all your files intact.

You can check out how to do both of these in our guide on how to factory reset Windows or use System Restore.

A Blurry Windows 11 Blur Issue, Fixed

Screen blurriness can impede work productivity. Start by adjusting the display scaling and enable the ClearText Type on your system. After that, override the High DPI settings and set the system for the best visual appearance. Lastly, update the GPU driver or perform a system restore to revert the system to a normal viewing experience.

Life is a colorful affair, and it should be represented as such on your screen as well. Much of it depends on the capabilities of your monitor, but much of it also has to do with how you calibrate your monitor. 

Monitors that are not calibrated properly may feel a little lackluster, and if you’re a gamer or a photographer, this just doesn’t do. Taking the time out to configure and calibrate your monitor will ensure that you get the best out of your monitor in terms of colors and graphical settings. 

If you’re not sure where to start or how to go about calibrating your monitor, fret not. We’ve got your back. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

Why is it important to calibrate the monitor on Windows 11 PC?

There’s no worse feeling in the world than working on photo editing for hours only to later realize that the colors are off when you get it in print. Calibrating your monitor and the display colors will keep you from having to go through that hell.

Even if you’re not a professional photographer or a gamer you may still want to calibrate your monitor if only to ensure what you’re seeing on your screen isn’t too far off what your friends will be seeing on their devices once you share. 

With Windows 11 also comes the ability to turn on HDR video, but that too has to be calibrated beforehand. If you truly want to feel the difference between non-HDR and HDR settings and appreciate the latter’s impact on gaming, calibrate your monitor for the same.

Monitor calibration isn’t just a one-time thing either. You should calibrate your monitor fairly regularly. If you don’t, the colors that you see on the screen can change slightly, or decrease in brightness over time. If the colors feel a little washed out on your monitor, chances are you need to calibrate it to restore the balance and keep the colors consistent with the general standards.

Things to note before calibrating your monitor

There are a few things that you should do before starting to calibrate the display. The first step is simple enough but important nevertheless, that is to ensure that you’re working in a well-lit environment – not too bright, not too dark, but somewhere with moderately ambient lighting. Other than that, make sure to do the following:

1. Set Native display resolution

In most cases, your monitor’s resolution would already be set to its native settings. But, in case there were any adjustments made to it before, here’s how to set it back to its native resolution:

Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings.

Now, scroll down and click on the drop-down menu under ‘Display resolution’. The native resolution is the recommended one.

2. Turn on the monitor to warm up the display

Your display needs to be turned on for at least 30 minutes prior to color calibration to get the best results. This allows the display to warm up and reach its full brightness so that color corrections can be properly perceived.

Here are various ways to calibrate your monitor on a Windows 11 computer.

Method #01: Start Display calibration for HDR video

Although Windows 10 supported HDR as well, there were various issues with it and that didn’t help its cause. But all that has since been fixed on Windows 11 to the extent that Microsoft has been touting HDR to be one of the selling points for Windows 11. Here’s how you can calibrate your display for HDR content:

Press Win + I to open Settings and click on Display.

Click on HDR.

Now make sure ‘Play streaming HDR video’ and ‘Use HDR’ are toggled ON.

Depending on whether or not your display supports it, you may get both these options, or just one (as is our case), or neither.

Next, click on Display calibration for HDR video.

Make the video full screen. 

Now calibrate the display by adjusting the slider at the bottom.

There are various monitor models out there that are HDR-capable. Even laptops of today have screens that are at least capable of playing HDR video. If you’re in the market looking for a new monitor, know that being HDR-capable doesn’t mean that you’re going to see improvements across the board. The games or videos that you’re playing need to be HDR-compliant too.

Method #02: Start Display Color Calibration

Now, let’s get to the more nuanced display calibration settings – color calibration. To start, open the Settings app, type calibrate display color and select the search result.

This will open up the Display Color Calibration setup. Click Next to continue.

2.1 Reds, Greens, and Blues

The first page will inform you about Gamma and how to go about adjusting it. Gamma determines the relationship between the reds, the greens, and the blues displayed on the screen. Take a good look at the ‘Good gamma’ sample image in the middle to know what you should be aiming for. Click Next to continue.

Adjust the slider on the left and minimize the visibility of the small dots in the middle of each circle.

If you don’t remember what good Gamma looks like, click on Reset and go back, check the reference and try again.

Once you’re satisfied with the settings, click on Next.

2.2 Brightness and Contrast controls

The next few pages will guide you on how to adjust brightness and contrast. This setting defines how dark colors and shadows are shown on your display. The controls for these may be available as physical buttons in front of your monitor or under settings in the on-screen menu. If these are not available for your monitor because, say, you’re on a laptop, then you can Skip brightness and contrast adjustment.

To get started with brightness and contrasts adjustment, click Next.

Here, you’ll see a reference for what ‘Good brightness’ looks like. You don’t have to be pedantic about getting it exactly right. It’s just a reference. At the end of the day, it’s your perception that matters. So go ahead and click on Next to start.

You will now get a series of reference images to adjust brightness and contrast. See the first reference image and adjust the brightness to be higher or lower. Once done, click Next.

Now see what ‘Good contrast’ looks like. Click Next.

Adjust the contrast as per the reference image. Once done, click Next.

2.3 Color Balance

The next couple of screens are about getting the different shades of grey right. The aim here is to get neutral grays and remove any color casting in them. Click Next.

Adjust the Red, Green, and Blue sliders at the bottom to remove any color cast.

Once done, click Next.

If you’re happy with the current calibration, go ahead and click on Finish. 

If not, go back and make further changes until you’re satisfied.

Method #03: Calibrate display using Nvidia Control Panel

If you’re part of the blue team, the Nvidia Control Panel offers its own color settings that you can adjust. Here’s how to go about it.

Open NVIDIA Control Panel first. For this, press the Windows button on your keyboard or click the Windows button on the taskbar to open the Start menu. Then search nvidia and open the Nvidia Control Panel.

Click on Adjust desktop size and position on the left (under the Display branch). (For some users, it may be under the Change Resolution option.)

Adjust the Scaling and Size of your display suitably.

When done, click on Apply. 

On the right, towards the bottom, you should see the “Apply the following settings” option. Select Use NVIDIA color settings under it.

Make sure that the “Output dynamic range” is set to Full.

Then click on Apply.

Done.

While here, you can choose to play with color settings too.

Now click on Adjust desktop color settings on the left.

Adjust the settings suitably to improve the color settings as you want.

Once done, click on Apply.

Method #04: Calibrate display using AMD Radeon

If you’re part of the red team, the AMD Radeon is your ally. Right-click on your desktop and select Show more options.

Then select AMD Radeon Software to open it up.

Once AMD Radeon opens up, click on Settings towards the top right (gear icon).

Click on Display.

Now, on the right, toggle on Custom Color.

This will open up additional display color settings, such as temperature, brightness, contrast, and saturation. Adjust the color settings to your preference. The changes will take effect as you make them. 

You can also open Windows desktop color calibration settings from here by clicking on Desktop color towards the top right. 

This will lead you directly to the ‘Display Color Calibration’ wizard that we saw before.

Method #05: Calibrate display using online tools

There are various online tools that help you calibrate your display as well. A couple of reputed ones that we’d recommend are Photo Friday and Lagom.

Lagom provides highly detailed information about the different aspects of monitor calibration, such as adjusting for sharpness, gamma correction, contrast ratio, white saturation, black levels, and a whole lot more, all of which you can read about on their site and adjust your monitor color settings accordingly.

Photo Friday, on the other hand, allows you specifically to adjust contrast and get a good balance between the whites and the blacks.  

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Monitor calibration can be tricky, not least because it depends primarily on the user’s perception. Even though the Windows color calibration settings page provides reference images for the same, knowing whether or not you’ve got the calibration right for your monitor can be confusing. 

Here we answer a few commonly asked queries that users have concerning monitor calibration. 

How can I tell if my monitor color is accurate?

No two monitors are alike. Even if you have the same monitor model as your friend, color calibrations on the two monitors can differ. To ensure that the colors are calibrated right, ensure that you’re working in a well-lit environment and have your display on for at least half an hour before you calibrate. Also, try to get as close to the reference images as possible when making the changes. You can refer to the Windows calibration settings or the online tools mentioned in the guide above for the same.  

How do I reset my monitor color settings

If you’ve made a ton of changes to your monitor’s color settings and want to reset them, you can do so via the ‘Color Management’ window. To do so, search for it in the Start menu and open it.

Then go to the ‘Advanced’ tab and make sure that all the settings are set to System default. 

Which monitor setting is best for the eyes?

This is a big one and understandably so. Your monitor settings affect how much strain you’ll be putting on your eyes. To reduce eye strain, make sure the contrast is set around the 60-70 percent mark. This will make the content stand out from the background and allow you to distinguish it better.  

How do I check my monitor refresh rate (Hz)

To know your monitor’s refresh rate, right-click on the desktop and select Display settings.

Then click on Advanced display under “Related settings”.

The refresh rate will be mentioned next to “Choose a refresh rate”. You can also choose from the available refresh rate options. 

We hope you are now able to fully calibrate your monitor to get visual output the way that suits you.
