    What constitutes a "High DPI" video monitor?


    I initially asked this question on the MSDN forum but couldn't find an answer there - so here goes...Visual Studio allows me to compile an app so that it's DPI Aware - in other words, if my video monitor has a high DPI setting, the app will behave differently somehow, compared to a lower DPI monitor.

    Disable High DPI Automatic Scaling

    Hello,

    What we can suggest to resolve the issue with your DPI settings is by following the steps on this
    article. Please note that these are only workarounds. DPI Scaling issues can be very tricky as these
    can involve multiple PC configuration. You would need to report this on our
    Feedback Hub     for our Engineers to be notified of the issue as stated on the article.

    Update us if there are improvements.

    High DPI monitor

    High DPI monitor

    I'm hoping to get a job soon, and I've pretty much come up with a full wishlist except a monitor... so..... anyone care to recommend a high DPI monitor? Anything above 20", 120ish or better DPI, and low latency please.
