Since updating to Windows 11 from Windows 10 I have a strange issue with text.
It's hard to describe or even show on a picture/video but on the left side of my main display the text is just off, it looks like it is all set to be bold and in some applications it is really hard to make out the text. The right hand side of my screen is fine with no issues.
I thought it was my monitor dying, but I've tried switching my second monitor to my main and the same thing happens.
I've tried clean/fresh installs of the graphics driver which didn't resolve the issue, but I noticed that when there is no Nividia driver installed, the text looks perfect and how it used to before I updated to Windows 11. I've also tried turning ClearType on/off and a multitude of combinations within the ClearType.
I've tried different HDMI/DP cables, tried different inputs/outputs on the monitor/GPU but it is all the same.
My last solution was to try and reinstall Windows 10 or do a fresh install of Windows 11.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this or had any similar experiences?

    I think I have managed to show it slightly in a picture.
    Below is the left side of my monitor.

    Below is the right side of my monitor, hopefully you can see that the left side above it blurry and as if the text is bold.

    Adjusting the ClearType setting usually fixes that sort of issue. You can search for it in the task bar.

    I tried that but unfortunately it didn't fix the issue, in the end I purchased a new monitor and the issue was resolved.
    I think the monitor must have started to die at exactly the same time that I did the Windows update :D
