      Thank you.
      Well, I can see evidence of antialiasing on the line ends and the circles even though you have turned the antialiasing features off. I expect to see them on the text because you left the text antialiasing settings on. Horizontal lines look darker (more transparent?) and corners look lighter because they are drawn twice. Am I seeing this correctly?

      So, either your antialias settings are getting changed at the last moment or your display device has a hardware antialiasing capability or it is actually getting that way due to windows scaling??

      Other than that I am out of ideas. I use the graphics view in a similar fashion with the same settings as you and do not see that kind of thing. However, I do see exactly that kind of thing when I turn antialiasing on (the user can switch it on and off in my application).

        My bad, this screenshot has the antialiasing on. Will do it again tomorrow with antialiasing off.

        They can turn it too in mine but i feel like it shouldn't happen even with antialiasing on

          OK.
          If you have issues with how the antialiasing is implemented I suggest you send your questions to the interest mailing list here and try to catch the eye of a developer who knows about the details.

            self.setOptimizationFlag(QtWidgets.QGraphicsView.DontAdjustForAntialiasing)
            
            self.setRenderHint(QtGui.QPainter.Antialiasing, False)
            self.setRenderHint(QtGui.QPainter.TextAntialiasing, False)
            self.setRenderHint(QtGui.QPainter.HighQualityAntialiasing, False)
            self.setRenderHint(QtGui.QPainter.SmoothPixmapTransform, True)
            self.setRenderHint(QtGui.QPainter.NonCosmeticDefaultPen, False)
            self.setViewportUpdateMode(QtWidgets.QGraphicsView.FullViewportUpdate)
            

            even with those settings, that's what I get

            This is not antialiasing related. Somehow lines get some opacity.

              Well that is strange isn't it.
              Maybe you could put the code that draws that into a minimal example app so we can all try to reproduce it.

                Okay, I wrote a quick example with the same view settings.
                It looks fine at scale 1 and same problem when zooming out.

                from PySide2 import QtGui, QtCore, QtWidgets
                
                class TestView(QtWidgets.QGraphicsView):
                
                    def __init__(self, parent=None):
                        super(TestView, self).__init__(parent)
                
                        self.setOptimizationFlag(QtWidgets.QGraphicsView.DontAdjustForAntialiasing)
                        self.setRenderHint(QtGui.QPainter.Antialiasing, False)
                        self.setRenderHint(QtGui.QPainter.HighQualityAntialiasing, False)
                        self.setRenderHint(QtGui.QPainter.NonCosmeticDefaultPen, False)
                        self.setViewportUpdateMode(QtWidgets.QGraphicsView.FullViewportUpdate)
                        self.setTransformationAnchor(QtWidgets.QGraphicsView.AnchorUnderMouse)
                        self.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(QtCore.Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOff)
                        self.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(QtCore.Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOff)
                
                    def wheelEvent(self, event):
                        self.setTransformationAnchor(QtWidgets.QGraphicsView.AnchorUnderMouse)
                
                        inFactor = 1.15
                        outFactor = 1 / inFactor
                
                        if event.delta() > 0:
                            zoomFactor = inFactor
                        else:
                            zoomFactor = outFactor
                
                        self.scale(zoomFactor, zoomFactor)
                
                class TestItem(QtWidgets.QGraphicsItem):
                
                    def __init__(self):
                        super(TestItem, self).__init__()
                
                    def boundingRect(self):
                        return QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 200, 400)
                
                    def shape(self):
                        path = QtGui.QPainterPath()
                        path.addRect(self.boundingRect())
                        return path
                
                    def paint(self, painter, option, widget):
                        brush = QtGui.QBrush(QtGui.QColor(70, 70, 70, 255))
                        painter.setBrush(brush)
                
                        painter.drawRoundedRect(0, 0, 200, 400, 20, 20)
                
                        pen = QtGui.QPen(QtGui.QColor(200, 200, 200, 255))
                        pen.setWidth(1)
                        painter.setPen(pen)

                        painter.drawLine(50, 80, 150, 80)
                
                
                view = TestView()
                scene = QtWidgets.QGraphicsScene()
                view.setScene(scene)
                
                item = TestItem()
                scene.addItem(item)
                    
                view.show()

                    BTW, I don't use python so I will be testing it with C++. Someone else might pitch in and try it with python for you.

                      So which Version of Qt are you using for this? I assume you are using Windows right?

                        I'm using Qt5 I think it's 5.6.1 and yes I'm on windows, will give it a try on MacOS
                        I've tried in Qt 4.8.2 and it's exactly the same

                          Hello @Goffer. I made a test app with a QGraphicsView using the same settings as you here are the results so far.
                          Note: i did not bother to sub class a graphics item yet as I don't think it makes a difference.
                          I don't see those artifacts at 1:1 zoom scale.
                          zoom scale 1.0

                          I do see those artifacts at less than a 1:1 zoom scale. I guess this is because the line thickness of on device pixel is now trying to show line a less than one physical device pixel width?? I think this is what the paint engine does when the device to logical pixels don't match, but I am no expert on that. You need to discuss those details with the developers.
                          zoom scale 0.5

                          I used Qt 5.8.0
                          This is on macOS High Sierra 10.13
                          I will try it on Windows later and let you know the results.

                          Hope that helps :-)

                              I've tried to make the pen cosmetic by setting the width to 0. That way the line should always have the same width on screen no matter the zoom factor. And the problem still occurs.

                                hello again @Goffer
                                I tried my test project on Windows and got the same results. It looks like we are stuck with that behaviour.
                                You could always submit it as a bug.

                                  I ve sent it to the interest mailing list as you suggested. Will see what happens, how could I submit it as a bug ?

                                    You can find out how to do that and much more here
                                    also the wiki is a good place to look around for information.
                                    The developers mailing list is here.

                                    Good luck :-)
