If you are using macOS High Sierra or Mojave and have a non-retina display (like an external monitor that does not display ultra-high resolution) you already noticed that the fonts and texts on that screen might be blurry and difficult to read.

This is great for Mac users with retina displays, but not so great for Mac users that do have a non-retina display. The goal of retina displays is to make textual elements and images extremely crisp, so pixels are not visible to the naked eye. If your Mac computer has a retina display, this means that each user interface widget is doubled in width and height to compensate for the smaller pixels. What is a Retina Display?Ī retina display is a IPS LCD and OLED displays that have a higher pixel density than traditional Apple displays. One example is having your Macbook Pro with retina display connected to an external display which may cause the text to be blurry on the latter. This blurriness seems to be due to changes in the anti-aliasing in these particular macOS versions. Many users are having blurry text or fonts on Mac computers with external non-retina monitors. This is a very common issue for macOS High Sierra and newly launched macOS Mojave.

They may also look fuzzy or even extremely thin. A very common issue many Mac users face is blurry fonts on their screens.
