Why is my Mendeley Reference Manager blurry?

Last updated on June 05, 2025

When Electron apps like the Mendeley Reference Manager desktop app are displayed via an NVIDIA GPU, they may appear blurred.

The fix is:

  1. Launch the "NVIDIA Control Panel" app, or equivalent
  2. Select "Manage 3D settings", "Program Settings"
  3. Wait for the drop-down menu to be populated
  4. Select Mendeley Reference Manager from the drop-down or add it if it's not there
  5. Set "Antialiasing FXAA": Off

This setting will survive app updates but depends on the location where the app is installed.
