Q: MBP 2012 Retina connecting to HP 27es display - blurry font.
My MBP (Mid 2012, Retina) running El Capitan is now connected to an external HP Display via an HDMI cable.
It all works fine, but the fonts on the HP are not as smooth as the MBP. Now, I get that Retina is quite superior so I may immediately catch abnormalities in an external display - but I assure you, that's not the case.
The HP font is significantly rough on the edges, contributing to a blurry font (and a string of headaches).
I called HP, and they tried to get me to buy their $67 paid support to give me the "drivers" for the monitor that I know they don't have.
Either I need to get an easy fix here, or I call Apple, OR you folks can be kind enough to refer me to any other affordable and sleek looking external display at BestBuy or Amazon.
I still have a return policy on hand with this bestbuy, so I may be able to exchange it for a display that doesn't have these silly issues.
Thanks!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
