I have recently replaced my laptop with a desktop machine. The laptop was the machine with the high DPI screen. But it was having some problems in that the batteries no longer held very much charge and some of the connectors were becoming increasingly intermittent. The batteries were not a problem because for the past 18 months it had never moved from my desk, so I replaced it with a desktop computer.
On the laptop the document pane was crisp and sharp. It took full advantage of the high DPI compatibility settings in windows 10. However installing InfoQube on the new machine the contents of the doc pane are much larger than normal (magnified) and the text has fuzzy edges. The text is not blurred in the normal sense of the term but it looks like the pixels of the text rendering are many physical pixels across and the 'virtual pixels' had been interpolated. The 'virtual pixels' themselves have sharp and crisp edges.
The fact that the contents of the doc pane are magnified is a problem as I have to decrease the zoom on visiting a page and this has to be repeated for each page I visit. When re-starting InfoQube this whole process has to be repeated as the pages default back to their magnified state.
Meanwhile other packages which had problems with rendering on a high DPI screen on the laptop had no such problems on the new system, things like ConnectedText now appear sharp and crisp on the new system. The built in graphics on the laptop were based on a Radeon graphics processor but the new machine has an Nvidia graphics card.
The new system :-
CPU | Ryzen R9 3950 |
Graphics Card | Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti |
Display 1 | ViewSonic VX2475 (3840 x 2160) |
Display 2 | LG Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) |
RAM | 32 Gb |
HD 1 | 980 Gb SSD |
HD 2 | 1863 Gb HDD |
OS | Microsoft Windows 10 Home |
Version | 10.0.18363 Build 18363 |
Type | x64 based PC |
Any suggestions ?
