4K TV at 1080p resolution = jaggy fonts?

[digitalbuda]

Hey guys

I have a 4K TV running at 1080p resolution. PC is a 2500K/HD6950 setup with Windows 10 Pro. But for the life of me, I can't seem to smooth out the fonts. I turned the sharpness on the TV down to 0. Turned on Cleartype and even downloaded the Windows 10 DPI Fix. The fonts still look horrible with smaller fonts even more horrible.

Jagged fonts with blurry edges, does anyone know how to fix this?

AFAIK, 1080p is low res for your 4K. Is that the best you can do?

Yeeaa, im gonna guess the 4k tv is bigger than 32 inches, too. Of course your fonts are jaggy! You have a 4k tv, use 4k resolutions.

I figured as much. Was just hoping there was a way to smooth it out so it's not so pronounced.

Probably a more capable video card that has 4K.
