Windows 7 - High DPI, easy on the eye

I like to push my PC to the max, so I always go for the monitor s maximum resolution. At the end of a long day, I admit I find the font a little too small at times.

Today I discovered High DPI , which lets me drive the monitor at maximum resolution, so great photographs and video, but the text is now really easy to read.

If you re on the Windows 7 beta, give this a try:

1)      Open the Start Menu

2)      Type “dpi” into the search window

3)      Click on the Control Panel item make text and other items larger or smaller

4)      Select the DPI setting that looks best on your display

(see table below for recommended settings)

5)      Log off and Log in to apply the DPI setting change

Here are the recommended DPI settings based on your display’s native resolution:
