Windows 10: View Poll Results: Which DPI size is your monitor running on?

In other words, how sharp / big the monitor seems to be set.
Most of us run on default 100% DPI but in some cases, usually big resolutions above 1080p, 4K, Mac Retina, Surface 4, high-end monitors, can use a higher DPI value, otherwise we end up with difficult to read tiny text and icons.

Quicken 2014 installs in Windows 10, but all of the fonts are extremely small

I'd right-click on the Quicken icon, go to Properties, and then adjust the display scaling options on the Compatibility tab, which will make it increase the font size for your high-DPI monitor.

 

Regarding High DPI Scaling Behavior In Windows 10 (p)

Hi David,

High-DPI scaling improves the way Windows 10 handles automatic scaling per-monitor, which reduces the amount of blur or incorrect size for legacy apps. Here are the three scaling options:

• System (Enhanced) will make the text and interface look crispier and elements will be sized correctly. This new option will override the way that a particular app handles the DPI scaling, which can result in interface elements and text
  being blurry, and allows Windows 10 to take care of the scaling.
• Application used to be referred as "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings." Using this option will force the app to run on a per-monitor DPI awareness.
  
• When you enabled System, Windows 10 will stretch the interface, bitmap elements, and text will be blurry. This is the standard way Windows 10 handles scaling.

The new DPI scaling settings are only available for traditional desktop (GDI-based) apps. Windows Store apps cannot be configured with these options because they're already optimized for high pixel density displays.

Should you need additional information, do let us know.

 

100% is perfect for my 32" HDTV/Monitor*Smile

 

108% is perfect for my 24" 1920x1200 display.

 

I go 110%, default text sizes but bold; perfect on 27" 1920x1080.

 

Interesting.
Although I don't see the votes, it counts as "custom (user defined)".

Yuh, I made a mistake voting, but unfortunately there is no 'correct your vote' option . . . :-\

 

'Unvote' then re-vote

 

HP Compaq L2105tm Touchscreen Monitor, 1440x900 resolution, 125% DPI, seems to be all I need. I have it on a KVM with Win7 Pro, Win10 Pro, Win10 Home and Linux Mint 17.2.

 

A little off topic but interesting:
At a very high dpi, the clock/calendar becomes dynamic, (scroll bar and all), while the Start Menu becomes squat and useless:

 

I have very poor vision and a 23" monitor.

-where is 'Unvote'?

 

I cannot find it either...
