Back in December 2024 I was struggling with some of my Linux Virtual Machines having Blurry Text. No matter what I did, I couldn’t figure out why the text [and other things] were blurry. I thought it was an error with the graphics driver in Virtual Box, or the Guest Additions. Well it turns out it was a bad setting. I can’t figure out why I changed this setting and didn’t notice it. But when I put it back to 100, all was well. No more blurry.
The picture on the left shows the display settings for the Virtual Machine with a “Scale Factor” other than 100%. Don’t do that. It will make the text blurry.
The picture on the right shows the correct display settings for sharp clear displays.
Not sure how it got changed, but it’s not the guest additions or the video driver. Just a bad scale factor setting.
Sigh.
