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

How high is the DPI?

I went to 300% in a test:









Shutdown still works. *Cool May be needed after seeing that chaos.
Menu seems fine... but most left items are a problem in the height: they don't scroll.

 

Thank you Edwin!
I didn't see that one: guess I'll have to increase my DPI. *Biggrin



Nah, reason is that text seems to be white in my browser. *Confused

Dave, good luck finding the button/option, it should be there somewhere at the right.

 

Thanks, both of you, didn't see that initially 'cause it is white text on light gray!

 

@Edwin Using 1920 x 1080 @150% DPI or 3840 X 2160 @ 300 DPI (4K) seems to be the maximum scaling value for the Clock & Start menu.

Also using a higher DPI may cause some 3rd party program menus to be too large and extend past the edge of the display.

 

Currently I am running my 50" 4K TV at 3840 X 2160 @ 300 DPI or my 27" Monitor running at 1920 x 1080 @150% DPI.

 

Using 200 percent on my Surface Pro 4 @ 2786x1824. Both are the recommended settings for the device.

 

I have to run windows 10 in high contrast themes. All the type in normal themes
for me is small and washed out, on everything no matter what I set.

I'm using the classic theme I downloaded from the forum.

Never had this issue with previous window versions.
It's kind of unfriendly for older people with vision issues.

I cant use the DPI setting as it messes up some programs I use, so I've
raised my resolution up a bit.

 

You mean lower it? To make items larger without messing the DPI values.
The whole purpose of DPI settings in this case is to counteract the high resolution drawbacks (small to read/see items). Increasing the resolution alone would not help: some of those programs will look even smaller.
It's true that programs may look messy but you can try the "disable dpi compatibility" in that case.
It may not always help though.

 

Helped for me in some programs, got rid of blurry text. Using recommended 125% at 2560 x 1440 .

 

I will give that a try, thanks much.

 

After looking at this I don't this same setting in Window 10. My scale increments are 25%....
So 100% to 125% is my only choice and that is way to large.

 

100% works just fine for me.

 

I envy all you people with good eyes. At 100% I wouldn't see a thing.

 

See first post:

Go to Control Panel - Display
(Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display)

Click on "set a custom scaling level" -> then it will give you the ruler options. Instead of using the provided drop down, type in your value. For instance I could pick 108%, sign out and back in to test.

Also, dragging the ruler left-right works:
