    Default 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.

    Yes, that's the best way, and usually the browser safes the setting for each webpage (at least chrome does) , so it's pretty easy.

    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 :/

    hmm how old are you? no disrespect or anything... I just want to know if you're old enough to have weak eyes? I have no problems reading 1080p without zooming. I use 100%.

    Well... how far away do you sit from your monitor?

    I sit about 1.5feet from my m11x monitor, and about 5 feet away from my U2311h (reasons for both directly relate to the KB placement).
