Graphics issue.

Somethings amiss with my screen graphics, I'll try and describe. Fonts, whether websites or documents have lost sharpness/ clearly defined edges. A bit like sharpness being over adjusted on a TV or viewing through dirty spectacles.. I've had a look in display settings (W10), but nothing seems out of the ordinary.  Any ideas?

    Search in settings for ClearType  ... turn it off (if on) or turn it on (if off).

    Cleartype change made no difference.

    Looks like your graphics card may be on the way out? Or ... Tried uninstalling the GFX drivers (and deleting them), rebooting and letting Windows find and install them? (In case it's a driver issue).

    Is this a desktop PC? Have you checked the PSU voltages? (In case the supply to the GFX card is flaky).

    What resolution is the screen you're viewing on? What resolution is your graphics adaptor outputting at?
    Is that showing everything at the top left, and lots of black space? It also looks too tall. Might be outputting the wrong resolution.

    1920 X 1080 - has always been so, smooth, sharp and issue free. I downloaded driver packs from Lenovo site but made no difference. Booted this morning and all appears normal, so still unsure of problem but will monitor situation.

    Thanks all for suggestions/ comments.
