First off, both the image and my computers resolution is 1920x1080.

If you open up both of these images and compare them side by side, you will see that once I set it as my computers wallpaper, it seems to compress itself and it makes it look hideous.

Does anyone have any idea at all why it is doing this?

The image file format is the issue. Convert it to .jpg and your problem should be gone.

I tried both .jpg and .png. :x I'll try it again though.

Edit: Didn't work.

It works, you probably did something wrong.
Use this .jpg version: i48.tinypic.com/2usg4yc.jpg

€: Sec, tinypic downsized it, reuploading atm.

This is strange.. it's still giving me the fuzzy look on my computer. Is it not giving a fuzzy look to you? It also does it on my laptop.

I tested it on my desktop, just to be sure. The jpg works as intended. If it doesn't work for you, there seems to be a second problem. Perhaps some windows settings, not sure.
The problem with .png is that windows will change its format to .jpg and downgrade it by doing so, causing it to look as LQ as on your screenshot.

Thanks for your help, I'll ask my co worker at work tomorrow to see if we can fix it. Strange thing is.. any other .png/.jpg at 1920x1080 works as intended.
