Hi all.
In my ongoing search for a new laptop I recently bought one from MSI thinking it might be "the one" after months of research. For various reasons I am probably going to return it (and go with pcspecialist as they were my first choice for ages), but it has led me to the following question regarding 1920x1080 resolutions on 15.6" displays...Can you ever get it looking right? Even with windows 10 that is supposedly good at managing this?
I have found that it's been impossible to strike the right balance between getting everything a decent size to read whilst remaining sharp, and text/other items becoming blurry. I have tried many different ways such as DPI scaling at higher scales, telling applications to ignore this scaling and then changing sizes within those applications, changing text size in windows - I feel like I've tried everything and whatever I tried, I just couldn't get it comfortable for my eyes. Sure, movies and vids look really great, but my main use involves reading/writing on the device.
For the last few years previously I've been using a 1366x768 laptop, and at work my 20" screen is 1600x900. I've found both these to produce comfotably sized text/windows/menus/etc.
Am I mad to be considering ordering a laptop with a 1366x768 resolution simply because it defaults at a comfortable size? Is there anything else I could maybe try to make a 19s0x1080 screen work for me?
Thanks all!
