# Fuzzy window rendering on external 4K display
MacOS users can encouter visual bug with fuzzy lines appeared while connected to external 4K display https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2020/06/11/apple-macos-macbook-pro-google-chrome-display-problem/?sh=331ac27967b4. Same thing can happen with any of Electron applications or Chrome itself.

As a temporary workaround there is a possibility to disable Chromium GPU acceleration. To do this for Lens, you need to provide `LENS_DISABLE_GPU=true` env variable and relaunch app.
First, open `.bash_profile` file from your terminal
```
open -a TextEdit.app ~/.bash_profile
```
Then, add this line
```
export LENS_DISABLE_GPU=true
```
Save it and restart Lens.
