Which DPI size is your monitor running on?


In other words, how sharp / big the monitor seems to be set.
Most of us run on default 100% DPI but in some cases, usually big resolutions above 1080p, 4K, Mac Retina, Surface 4, high-end monitors, can use a higher DPI value, otherwise we end up with difficult to read tiny text and icons.

   Note

DPI settings can be found here:
DPI Scaling Level for Displays - Change in Windows 10 - Windows 10 blog


We don't need to change anything, just take a look.






Getting to the options via Settings:






100% is perfect for my 32" HDTV/Monitor

100% for me ;-)

108% is perfect for my 24" 1920x1200 display.

I go 110%, default text sizes but bold; perfect on 27" 1920x1080.

Although I don't see the votes, it counts as "custom (user defined)".

'Unvote' then re-vote

HP Compaq L2105tm Touchscreen Monitor, 1440x900 resolution, 125% DPI, seems to be all I need. I have it on a KVM with Win7 Pro, Win10 Pro, Win10 Home and Linux Mint 17.2.

A little off topic but interesting:
At a very high dpi, the clock/calendar becomes dynamic, (scroll bar and all), while the Start Menu becomes squat and useless:
