There is a fix for apps that are blurry on the non-primary low-res display. Go to the app properties and on the Compatibility tab click the button 'Change high DPI setting' and check 'Override high DPI scaling behavior' option. Make sure 'Application' is selected in the 'Scaling performed by:' drop-down list.

The blurry apps will render a bit bigger on the non-primary low-res display but everything will be crisp.

On later Windows 10 builds, you might want to try "System (enhanced)" mode, it manages to get proper DPI scaling on entirely DPI-oblivious apps.

(It basically does what Microsoft should have done decades ago and changes GDI pixels to be virtual rather than physical.)
