New computer, Full screen goes blurry

So I recently got a new computer (+monitor) which has a normal resolution of 1920 x 1080. However I notice that when I run Maplestory, the screen becomes blurry ... it's kind of a 'soft' sort of feel. Anyone know how I can fix this? I've tried changing my screen resolution to match the game resolution but it barely helps.

my computer screen is pretty big so i play in window, plus it's actually a lot easier playing with window for fast p/c and switching between browser and maple

same effect when you 'stretch' the wall paper for your desktop background

You know how hard it is to explain 'tech' stuff with parents? haha I tried to explain it to my parents with examples about screen resolutions. I used in my comparasion old TVs with low resolution and new TVs with high resolution.

Yes, I play in Windowed mode all the time since it was available.

[quote=Hualicious]What Quasar said is true.

If you want to play at 100% quality you have to play it in windowed mode or play with black side bars / border. So you might as well play in windowed mode.[/quote]

Ahh I see, curious, do you play in windowed mode yourself?

Because the game's resolution does not go up to 1920 x 1080. The game's highest resolution, 1366 x 768, will be stretched when playing on a monitor with a higher resolution. You can simply play in windowed mode to not be blurry.
