Poor Definition On Laptop

[johnk]

The definition on the screen is getting worse with blured text.  It is quite an old Dell.  Has it had it or can I do anything about it?  I'm not Tech savvy so keep it as simple as possible

Try pressing and holding the Windows , Ctrl, shift keys down at the same time and then press the B key.

That resets the video drivers.

This from Dell website, Google your question with dell before laptop, quite a few answers.

Have you double checked that you've not picked up the wrong glasses?

Maybe an update of the graphics driver is required. Google it for your specific machine, and try moving your screen definition up a notch.

If the reset doesn't work, maybe there's a way to connect or cast to an external monitor ?

 

(Obviously, worse comes to worst you can get the repair shop to look at it.)

I assume this is a Windows 10 machine

Open the Device Manager by typing "device manager" in the taskbar search box (bottom left of screen)

Select Display adapters 

Right-click on your graphics card 

Select Properties 

Navigate to the Driver tab 

Click Update Driver 

Select Search automatically for updated driver software 

It should only take a couple of minutes

^ "it's quite an old Dell" and "I'm not Tech savvy".

More likely to be W7 or Vista?!
