I have a number of older Windows apps that look great on this display. The documentation is clear on High-DPI and developers need to test, include appropriate resources or don't claim to support high-dpi. You can say all this talk of High-DPI is a problem with Windows, but I think it's a problem with the app developers. Problems happen when applications either totally don't think about High-DPI displays, or more commonly, they kind of think about them. It's a little hard to get the point across in a blog post of screenshots because you, Dear Reader, are going to be reading this on a variety of displays. Many, if not most apps work fine in the High-DPI desktop world.

I've changed the default to 100% to illustrate the massive number of pixels here.ģ200x1800 is SO high res, that when you're running it at Small Fonts, well, a picture is worth a million pixels, right? Go ahead, click it, I'll wait. The default is smart about the size of your screen and DPI and always tries to get the fonts looking the right size. First, let's look at the display at 'small fonts.' It's the Desktop where I get into trouble.

I've changed a few settings on my 1080p Surface 2 in order to take better advantage of High-DPI and run a more apps simultaneously, in fact.Īlso, note the checkbox that lets you set different scaling levels for different displays, so you can keep your laptop at high-res and an external monitor at another for example. And that makes sense, as it appears they've put a LOT of thought into high-dpi with Windows 8.1. The whole full-screen Windows Store ecosystem seems to work nicely with high-DPI displays. The text is clear, there's nary a pixel in sight.

To be clear, full screen apps (Windows Store apps) almost universally look great.

That's FOUR of my 1600x900 ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch screens. It also has about the nicest screen I've ever seen on a Windows Laptop.Įxcept. It's the perfect size, it weighs nothing, touch screen, fast SSD, it's thinner than the X1 Carbon Touch that is my primary machine, and it just feels right. I've been using this Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro for the last few weeks, and lemme tell you, it's lovely.
