Blurry font on Dell P2419H monitor

Hi,


I have a MacBook Pro 13 2019 Touch Bar version and I bought a FHD Dell P2419H as an external display. I connected it with a USB-C - HDMI cable and I get a blurry font, it's uncomfortable to read or edit text.


I tried many things like adjusting the resolution on both MacBook and display manually using SwitchResX and force the same resolution including 1080p but nothing changed.


I also tried to deactivate the font smoothing but nothing changed too.


Does anyone have resolved this problem or have any ideas how I can correct this issue?

Or is it unsolvable since the resolution on my MacBook has a different scale 16:10 and default resolutions and higher Dpi?

Can you recommend me another affordable monitor, which shows everything normal?


I would appreciate your help. Thank you so much.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
