Screen res and font size

General Discussion (off topic) Anything and everyt

Hi.

I’ve been following the release of new laptops like this one The Dell XPS 13 and 15 feature high-end specs and thin designs - YouTube
and I’d like to know how, with such high pixel density, things manage to present themselves with a viewable size: images, icons, text… I presume there must be a software managing font sizes, considering the screen is at its highest resolution by default.
Could anyone shed some light?

Thanks.

3200 x 1800 drools Anyway, I don’t know a specific answer to your question since I guess it can be done other ways too but in Windows you can change the size of items and text in the control panel, see screenshot.

I had totally forgotten that option.
I wonder if it would be enough for a smooth viewing experience… let me give an example: lets say I buy a 2560x1440 and I increase the size to 125% with the Windows option. Would that increase be compatible with all sites, documents, windows, etc.? And would it feel natural, not like the size had been forced? I hope someone here uses a very high res screen and can share experiences.

Thanks a lot for the answer Sanya.

I have no idea, never used the option. :stuck_out_tongue:
