MacBook Pro External Monitor Blurry Fonts
I have a Sceptre P30 External Monitor connected to a 2018 15" MacBook Pro via USB-C to DisplayPort. The resolution is set at 2560x1080 (QHD) 200Hz. I'm currently running macOS 10.15.6 (Catalina).
The fonts in most apps, specifically Safari, is really poor and disappointing. They are inconsistent, fuzzy and blurry.
"Use font smoothing when available" is checked in System Preferences > General.
I've tried all of the following settings with reboots in between and they did not solve the problem:
defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool FALSE
defaults write com.apple.Safari CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool FALSE
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 3
I also tried adding an edid override file using the instructions found here - https://www.chanhvuong.com/4403/fix-blurry-text-on-mac-using-external-non-apple-monitor/
Has anyone found a solution to this? Would a 4K monitor solve the problem? I'm willing to get a 4K monitor but I'm hesitant because I'm not sure that's the problem. I'm concerned the issue is Catalina and external monitors based on my reading.
Thanks for any help!
