Users with 1920x1080
Just want to know what settings people with this resolution use because I did a format and all text is tiny especially some websites like Facebook it's almost unreadable so I've changed the Windows text dpi to Medium - 125% which has helped abit and I've had to change my Firefox text size to 15px minimum size..

Hold the CTRL button then if you have a mouse scroll up on the scroll wheel to zoom in. I think it should work the same if you have your touchpad emulating a scroll bar but I haven't tried that as I use external mice all the time. I don't have a 1920by1080 screen for my m15x but on my desktop I used that because I have it connect to my 1080p tv for a HTPC.

^^I use the CTRL/scroll wheel trick as well, but setting the zoom level to 120%-125% in Chrome and the Microsoft Office apps works perfectly to adjust the text size to a comfortable level. I prefer the smaller icons and the thinner taskbar, so I avoid the DPI increase approach.

I used to adjust the DPI setting in windows but that creates problems in some games. Starcraft 2 to be exact. If DPI is not default, the mouse cursor in Starcraft 2 become invisible. You can see a cursor but it doesn't move although you can still click stuff but you can't see what you click.

Re: Users with 1920x1080
Well I've been using the zoom trick for the browser but for Steam chat it's almost impossble to see the text and you can't change it so how does one go about Windows programs that don't let you change text size? guess I'll just have to go down to 1600x900 :/
