Apr 21, 2019 363 12 1,715 Whatever I do, my desktop background is always blurry! I find pictures with the exact same resolution as my windows settings say it’s in, but whenever I set it to fill, fit, stretch, or span, it is always super blurry! I looked on the internet and nobody’s methods seem to work. I want an actual background instead of making it center all the time. Sort by date Sort by votes

that doesn't sound like a standard resolution so that may be the reason you cannot find any backgrounds that will fit your screen right. is your monitor HD or 4K? Upvote 0 Downvote

It is a standard resolution, it’s QHD. There is HD (720p), FHD (1080p), QHD (1440p), and UHD (21 something something, it’s 4k). Upvote 0 Downvote You must log in or register to reply here. Share: Facebook X Bluesky LinkedIn Reddit Tumblr WhatsApp Email Share Link
