Instrument panel blurry.

After reading through 10 pages of forum post titles, the relevant manuals and looking in the KB I can't find any P3DV5 advice of graphics and texture settings for the 757 III instrument panels appearance. QID226 is the nearest but that mysteriously refers to MSFS menu settings when I believed the 757 III was for P3D. I don't dispute that my sim and monitor graphics settings are probably at fault but the lack of guidance is surprising. The pop out 2D panels are nice and clear but the main panels are virtually unreadable unless using a high zoom setting.
P3DV5 graphic settings:
Res 1920 1080x32
Auto fill main view, yes
FXAA, 8xSSAA
Tex filter. Aniso 16x
Tex Res, 4096x4096
Dynamic Tex Stream, yes
V Sync, on
Triple buffet, yes
Target FR, 30
Var refresh, yes
Mipmap VC panel, yes
2D panel trans, 0%

This is all guess work and what seems right rather than knowledge.
Any advise appreciated. Thanks

Having checked thoroughly there is no HDR.

Unfortunately turning Mipmap off made no difference, the cockpit is still very blurry. This is frustrating as its guess work reading instruments unless zooming in or using the pop outs.

If you mean DISPLAYS, try ACE>Displays>Definition settings.

Selecting Displays definition to high and Refresh rates to max, turning VC cabin off, LL intensity and VC windows reflection hasn't made any difference (see attached). I'm using a Iiyama PL2560H 24" monitor set to 1920x1080, refresh rate 144hz, 8-bit, RGB, SDR, hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling 'on'.
If anyone could be as generous to share any settings that produce a clear cockpit display I would be extremely grateful. Flying with instrument displays 'popped out' somewhat reduces forward vision.  Wink

Try changing the FXXA to OFF.

With the FXXA switched OFF, the text displaying on the instruments is still somewhat blurry, but at least I find it readable.
With FXXA turned ON, it's too  blurry for me to read easily, and I need to use the 2D panels to  read them.

Thank you that does make a difference, the displays are easier to read. However I wonder if CS757III instruments displays are as clear graphically as the FSX 757-200. Technical and operating simulation in the III is far better but perhaps the visual aspect needs looking at when (and if) 757III is updated.

The 757 III instruments and displays are better than the 757 II ones.
But actual apperance depends a lot on your sim and graphics settings.
