The issue is not when scrolling around, but when opening the application on my 14" display, and looking at anything inside of the application.
It's as if the screen refresh rate is not the same as that of the other applications, my eyes feel dizzy just looking at the application.
Hope that my explanation is clearer, this is not easy to describe.

I've been doing this a very long time.  I know what bad interlaced video (old TV) looks like.  Also low refresh rates.  I've diagnosed dozens of low refresh rate monitors over the years and surprised the owners that it could look better with a higher refresh rate (frame rate).  My current monitor is set to a 120Hz refresh rate.  It is rock solid with everything including MC.

So, I think I know the "look" you are describing, but I kind of doubt it's really due to a low refresh rate.  MC has to use the native refresh rate of whatever monitor it is connected to.  It does not have any other option.

Maybe there's something about the skin you are using that makes it look odd?  I would suggest that you give some other skins a try.  Maybe Black On Black or Purity.

I wish I could say something more helpful, but it's a bit hard to diagnose when I can't see it and you indicate that a screen capture won't show your issue so... I'm not sure how to help further.

Good luck to you.

On my M1 Mini with DELL S3221QS Display 32" display it's as sharp as a tack.
I did notice that on the default skin, toggling that Retina flag really makes a difference.
Perhaps check the font?
I agree on trying a different skin too.
My favorites are here:
https://yabb.jriver.com/mediacenter/accessories.php (you can also go there from inside MC: View->Skin->Skin download page)
Download them and run them and they will auto-install.
Dream in Blue
 and
Black and Blue
are sweet.

I'll second Dream In Blue and Blue and Blue Too (HC)(SB).  Those are my two longest used skins.
