DayZ has two resolutions:
Display Resolution is the actual resolution that your display shows.
The rendering resolution is the resolution your GPU is rendering in, it is set as a percentage of your display resolution. If you got a blurry view and large icons ect. you propably got a very low display resolution.

the image shows where you can change it. i recommend changing it to your display's native resolution. After that you should adapt the rendering resolution, to an ammount your GPU can handle. (the higher you set it the sharper the view gets)

If that does NOT help, please, only if the first way does NOT help, then:

-Close DayZ-

  1. Go to: "C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\DayZ\DayZ.cfg"
  2. Search: Resolution_W= Resolution_H=
  3. Know your right resolution (e.g. 1920x1080)
  4. Fill in: For "Resolution_W=" you fill in the first value, 1920 as I sayed E.G.! Fill in: For "Resolution_H=" you fill in the second value, 1080 E.G.!
  5. Save the changes.
  6. Start DayZ
