I have a laptop with a 1920 x 1080 display and my problem is that Google Chrome and even Chromium looks blurry and not as clear as in Windows and it drives me nuts. It is a HIDPI display so I added --force-device-scale-factor=1.2 to chrome-flags.conf to solve the problem of the UI being so small that I could barely use the browsers, I don't know if that setting has to do anything with my problem but I think I should mention it. I use Kubuntu 17.10.1.

EDIT: Here are two screenshots of my desktop.

The first is the unscaled default look of the chromium browser. Here

The second is the scaled version, it is very blurry compared to windows, which has a sharp looking font. Here

  • Yes, the 120% scaling is why images and such look blurry on web sites, for you. They are raster images and being scaled. What physical size is the screen? 12.6"? 15.6"? 5.5"?

  • The laptop's size is 15.6". The browser itself looks blurry and even the fonts, not only the images. If I set the scaling back to normal everything looks small.

    OK. That is not really a HiDPI screen though. Could you perhaps edit your question and include a screenshot?

  • 1920x1080 is not HiDPI, it's a good quality screen, but the 1x version looks just fine. There is no need to scale it. Feb 1, 2018 at 13:29
