I have a big IPS monitor with 1920×1080 resolution, and some programs look blurry. Here's a screenshot to demonstrate:
You can see on the left that the text in Firefox looks sharp, while the text in the Audible Downloads window to the right looks blurry. Other programs that are blurry include Google Chrome, Notepad++, and I"m sure there are more. Other programs like VLC and Office, look sharp. Paint.NET has sharp text but the icons are blurry.
I set the display to 150%, so I understand how this can make images (icons) look blurry, but what about fonts? Is there anything that can be done about them?

I had the same problem, and i fixed it by toggling "Use Windows XP scaling" on and off a couple of times.
Reboot, or log out/in between the changes.
You find the setting as a check-box in:
"Screen Resolution"/"Make text and other items larger or smaller"/"Custom sizing options"/"Use Windows XP scaling"
It was unchecked when i started, and is unchecked now. For some reason it had to be turned on and off again (LOL) to fix this.
