After update to 8.1 first thing I noticed is that my installation windows/boxes are blurry, both graphics, text and buttons. Then I opened up Logitech Setpoint and found out that its blurry too. Applications such and Office or Adobe do not have blurriness in text or interface.

Also I noticed that text in Metro apps such as mail goes from smudgy to clear in few flicks whenever new text renders on screen.

If I adjust scaling myself (by percentage not by slider) text gets a lot better in desktop environment but with custom scaling I cant get the window/box size or font size right, its either too small or too big.

I tried playing with ClearType but it didn't to shizz.

I also have installed the latest drivers for Intel and Nvidia before update and after update just to make sure.

I also noticed the text in Device Manager looked a little washed out after I had installed the free upgrade to 8.1 from the Windows Store. Ticking the "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays" has made it go back to normal.
