Windows – Why would Windows 7 installation on Laptop have blurry screen resolution

displayresolutionwindows 7

I had Windows 7 on my ASUS X51R laptop, and the screen resolution was fine.

I just reinstalled Windows 7 on the same laptop and the screen resolution is fuzzy, it is usable but the characters are noticeably less clear than on the former installation.

Here are the settings I have under screen resolution:

  • Monitor Type: Generic PnP Monitor (the only choice)
  • Adapter: Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
  • Hardware acceleration: full
  • Resolution: 1024 x 768 (the highest)

How can I make the resolution sharp again?

For your laptop model, the resolution needs to be set 1280x800.

As Rich suggested, you'll need to install the graphics drivers. Maybe check out http://support.asus.com/download/ and search for you model. It doesn't look like they have drivers specific to Windows 7. Maybe the Vista graphics driver would work?
