Inspiron 24 5410 AIO, LCD font quality
I recently purchased an Inspiron 24 5410 AIO. It runs fine but there is a peculiarity with fonts. Not often noticeable if the text has a white background but if it is in a colored cell, the characters look to have a surrounding of white pixels. I'm not sure if this is a Windows 11 effect or if the LCD is doing it? I have tried all sorts of scaling, font smoothing and ClearType settings but nothing really effects it. The image shows the difference between my older (now secondary) computer setup and the new Inspiron 24 5410 AIO set to the correct native resolution. Is there something wrong?

I have the same problem on my 27" AIO. The picture shown is a perfect representation.

I think it has to do with a very exaggerated sharpness adjustment done at the factory for these AIO screens. My computer is a newly acquired AIO Inspiron 5410 and I noticed this problem from the boot screen, before any operating system loads. Unfortunately, this does not appear to be user-adjustable and greatly impairs the readability of texts on this screen. Could someone tell me if some firmware update could lessen this absurdly exaggerated sharpness?

Using 'MS Reference Sans Serif' for system fonts (point size 10 for everything) and switching to dark mode makes text look better. Some websites can still look a bit unclear, so not really a system font problem. More noticeable if it's black text against a mid-grey background. I used 'Advanced System Font Changer' to set the fonts. Just more convenient to use a program to do it. ($17.95 for 3 year licence). Also, Windows Update will sometimes return the font to the MS default. The program can quickly restore the font type to the users preference at the click of a button.

Well, I have had the computer for longer than the computer return period, so I guess I'll have to get used to the font display for years to come. Although the post above does help, it doesn't really overcome the fact that fonts don't look clear. Having used the computer for some months now, I feel it must be a monitor problem. Just the backlighting, pixel arrangement, construction or something of that nature. Certainly nothing software or adjustment related seems to be the answer. I think I would return the computer and get a different one if I could.

Will this problem be fixed?
