1080p Monitor Question.

In Windows XP, Vista, and 7 theres an option to increase text size. This also increases things like icons and automatically zooms in on webpages.

With all versions it should be Start -> Control Panel. Don't remember how to get to it on XP but with Vista and 7 the next step would be "Appearance and Customization."

I have Windows 7 and have tried to mess around with text sizes but doesn't seem to change anything :/VelocityEvo

Odd. When I go to Appearance and Customization, theres a display tab with "Make text items smaller or larger," and it does exactly as it says.

Maybe you just need to spend more time with it, since you aren't used to using it. You can ctrl + mouse wheel to zoom in on web pages and stuff though to make them larger.

In Windows 7:

• Right-click on the desktop
• Click"Personalize"
• At the bottom-left click, "Display"
• You should now be able to select "Small/Medium/Large"

Turning on "ClearType" may also improve readability. I hope this helps!

Okay, so I realized it was changing the text size but not browers which is where I read all the text. The text is so small in browers it just gives you a headache. Anybody who has a 23" 1080p monitor have this? VelocityEvo

Which browser are you using?

Chrome: Options>Under the hood>Web content>Font Size

Firefox: Options>Content Tab>Fonts & Colors

IE: Tools>Zoom

Get some glasses or zoom in using your mouse.

I got a 24" 1200P, and I love mine.

Getting glasses just to see my screen properly seems like a very poor solution. VelocityEvo

How is it poor?

You can't see, so you get glasses...

If you want a poor solution, the go get laser eye-corrective surgery.

Or he could adjust settings like turning down the brightness and using a calibration tool so it isn't so harsh on his eyes.

Or return it for a better monitor like LG or Dell.

I think his problem are the small text in his internet browser.

You dont need a glasses for that when you can just adjust the font size or zoom in.

look for an option to change ur DPI value in the control planel.

also, holding ctrl and scrolling easily zooms web browers in and out.

and if ur montior and video card are not both HDCP compatible everythign will look like crap.

I said in my first post my eye sight is perfectly fine, therefore I do not need glasses or eye correction. The problem was not that I can't see but that the text was too small, none of my friends found it comfortable either. Think before you post. VelocityEvo

And its moronic how? there are many people with 1080P monitors and they can see fine, if people can't see something, they get glasses or they use the accessibility options in Windows (its there for a reason you know).

I have no problem, but my dad does, so I told him the same thing, and you know what his solution was, use the screen magnifieror his glasses, he doesn't care and neither does anyone else.

If you still want to bring up the same point to the manufacturer, they will state the same thing.
