I have just bought an Acer Chromebook 315. The screen quality is terrible! Text is quite blurry. I think I’ve been spoilt as I’ve been using a Microsoft’s Surface till now but is this normal for a Chromebook display to be so 1980’s PC and is there anyway of improving it?

    Try the below steps:

    Once you have signed out of your Chromebook, press and hold the Ctrl + Alt + Shift + R keys on your keyboard. Select the Restart option. A screen will appear asking you to confirm that you want to reset the device. Click Powerwash and Reset, then Continue.

    The problem might be screen mirroring. Try hooking up the laptop to a larger screen and forced screen mirroring. It will show the unused screen. Ctrl + F3/F4 will resolve the issue.

    If not, Please try powerwash as mentioned above.

    For powerwash, follow below steps:-

    Power off>> Factory reset your Chromebook
    Sign out of your Chromebook.
    Press and hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift + r.
    Select Restart.
    In the box that appears, select Powerwash and then Continue.
    Follow the steps that appear and sign in with your Google Account.
    Note: The account you sign in with after you reset your Chromebook will be the owner account.
    Once you've reset your Chromebook:
    Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your Chromebook
