There is only one reason behind the strange behavior of your display, you forget to turn off your Zooming State. Restarting, logging off, or even shutting down your Mac won't restore the zooming state you've set. You've to set it back to normal by yourself.

Setting the zoom of your display is an easy task. You just need to press Control and scrolling your mouse up/down will increase/decrease your display's zoom.

  3. Then find the pop down menu titled Color
  4. Go under Display tab
  5. After that, choose for the largest amount, I choose Millions for mine
  6. Finally you can see the smooth display of your Mac.
