  1. 24 inch 1080p scaling too small. Is it just me?


    For years I have used 125% scaling for both my 24 inch monitors at 1080p.

    I recently changed back to 100% scaling because of some games and apps, like Epic Games for example.

    Am I the only one who thinks that the task bar, for example, is way to small at 100% scaling even for 24 inch monitors? I mean even the icons showing the background apps on the taskbar seem so small that they seem like they're not supposed to be like that.

    Really is everyone using 100% scaling for 24 inch 1080p monitors? Even from really close they look small.

    All the sites get too big on 1080p so I used to downscale on the browser, but the Windows itself is way too small.

    BenQ shows off new 24 inch screen at Computex

    24 inch seems about right for my next big step if I intend to upgrade *Stick Out Tongue 24 inch 1080p scaling too small. Is it just me? :p Hopefully it will be affordable, like a high end graphic card and not scale beyond one grand after taxes =D

    Monitor Scaling and resolution

    I have a 2 monitor setup on windows 10. I have a 23.8 inch 1440p monitor, and a 31 inch 1080p television as my second monitor. In the windows display settings menu it assumes the 1080p tv is smaller than the 1440p monitor despite it being the opposite.
    Is there a way to input the inches a monitor/tv is so it scales correctly? In the photo, monitor 1 is the 1440p monitor, and 2 is the 1080p television. Thanks in advance.

    Windows 10: Too Blurry at 150% Scaling (recommended), Too Small at 100% scaling

    I have a laptop with a 14 inch screen and 1920x1080 Resolution.

    The recommended scaling is 150% by default

    24 inch 1080p scaling too small. Is it just me? 3af89035-451b-4fb3-882a-8235daea4fbb.png

    This makes the desktop icons and taskbar icons look a good size, but apps like "Steam" "rainmeter" and many dialogue boxes have blurry pixel-y texts.

    at 100% size, this all goes away, but everything is far too small to use on a 14 inch screen.

    Steps I have tried

    1. Updating display drivers, both nvidia and intel graphics drivers

    2. detecting hardware changes

    3. setting up clear text font

    4. Disabling Cleartext font (then resetting it to be normal)

    5. Setting custom scaling level. (then resetting it after it didnt work.)

    6. DISABLING DPI SCALING ON APPS:

    --This makes it so an individual app will run at 100% scaling, making it clear, but THEN IT BECOMES TOO SMALL.

    example: normal sized steam:

    Dpi Disabled steam:

    http://i.imgur.com/enXuDKj.png

    This option is not acceptable, as i want the full size readability of steam with the clearness of smaller steam

    This is the case with many apps, where the text and window in general look "Blurry" or "Fuzzy," so i wouldnt be able to change each apps scaling, that would take a large amount of effort. but i dont want to disable dpi scaling anyway, since the laptop screen
    is 14 inches (lenovo flex 3), window size needs to be large.

    sidenote: i hada laptop with 15.6 inch screen and 1366x768 resolution, that screen did NOT have an issue, as it was able to be set to 100% scaling, the default scaling for it, and not lose size.

    How can i fix this, or can microsoft eventually make an update for this? cause i know im not the only one

    Thanks!
