Screen Focus Problem on Toshiba Laptop

Tishiba laptop, W10Pro
The screen on my laptop is very hard to see as focusing seems to be the problem. When watching a YouTube video, for instance, the colors don't appear as sharp as they used to be.. I've tried adjusting focusing myself, and even had a Geek Squad tech give it a try. Is this problem an indicator of something internal to the computer going bad, such as a video card, or can the screen itself be at fault? As laptops age, is this a common problem? My device is several years old, but I don't remember exactly when I bought it. Before I run out and buy a new laptop, any advice is appreciated.

Have you checked to see if the video card driver was updated recently? If it was you could try rolling back to a older driver. If not I would suspect the screen is going bad. The screen can be replaced but if the laptop is old it may not be worth it.

Thanks. I'll check into that. In the meantime, I adjusted YouTube video quality to a higher number, and that has helped.

Interestingly, I updated my conputer yesterday to the latest version (W10 pro ver 1903) and the graphics now appear so much better, as if my device was new. Maybe an updated driver was included in the update, but whatever it was, the words on the screen are so much clearer. I don't think I'll need to use the"High contrast" setting any more.
