November 22, 201114 yr Commercial Member I am still having issues getting my 28 inch Dell to correctly display at its native resolution of 2560 x 1600. The set up is: 2 GTX 580's with sli mode enabled. Latest drivers, only one monitor ( used to run 2) plugged into outlet one of the top card. The monitor is correctly detected and listed in device manager, works fine at 1900 x 1220 and below , but when I select any higher resolution, the fonts and icons are virtually unreadable, like they are unaliased and have wierd colours. I just tried to take a screen grab of the issue, but when I tried to paste the screen grab into paint, to upload as a photo for you to look at, it was fine. I am running the monitor at 1920 x 1200 currently and the screen grab I took displays fine at that res. Can anyone figure out the issue? I have tried everything, new drivers, resetting monitor to factory defaults etc etc Thanks, Mark
November 23, 201114 yr Try this: If the monitor came with a driver disk, make sure to install them.next;make sure that 'ClearType' is enabled, you’ll need to open the classic Appearance Settings dialog. Right click on the desktop and choose Personalize. Then click on Window Color and Appearance,If you have Aero enabled, you’ll have to click on “Open classic appearance properties for more color options”.Click on the “Effects…” button and make sure that your computer has the checkbox for font smoothing enabled.Then in the drop down box below, select 'clear type'. That should remove the no AA effect.you could then increase the DPI setting ; Open control Panel, type Adjust font size in the search box. It will take you directly to the link for the DPI Scaling Utility. Change this from 96 to 120 to make icons and fonts larger, or you can select 'custom' to create your own size.Ron.
November 27, 201114 yr Author Commercial Member Hi Ron, I have set the fonts to clear, have all the drivers installed, not using aero, still the same issue. Tried enabling aero, but cannot see the options you describe available anywhere. If I right click my screen and go to perspnalize, I just get a screen that lets you cchoose themes, no options for effects etc. If I type adjust font size in the search box, I dont get the options you describe, I get "adjust clear type text " and "adjust screen resolution". I f I try and follow the wizard, it adjusts the screen to the native res (2560) and then I can read any of the fonts.Very frustratingCheers. Mark
November 28, 201114 yr this is for Vista64;http://www.vistax64....pi-scaling.html to adjust DPI, if you can't find it then try this, to add it to menu:http://www.vistax64....ntext-menu.html I only have Vista on a laptop, no idea why it doesn't show on yours. On mine, if you right click on desktop > personalise > I get the; Adjust DPI option??but just use the reg file in the link above to add it. (Win 7) should be in 'windows control panel' > show all control panel items > display, You can also try the 'Use XP style DPI settings' in the create custom settings.Ron.
