Hello guys,

What is the recommended DPI size setting within windows for a 1440p 27 inch screen that will
make everything on the windows desktop the correct size, not too small and not too big?

I didn't need to set the DPI size on my current 24 inch screen that has a screen resolution of
1920x1200 because everything on the windows desktop was just the right size but I am sure
I will have to on his screen because of it being larger and because of the screen resolution
being a lot higher and so the windows desktop text and items will most likely be a lot smaller
by default and so the DPI size will need set to make things the right size.

Entirely depends on your eyesight, preferences and viewing distance. No scaling is 'required' on such models for users with good eyesight or corrected vision from a normal viewing distance.

Yeah I'd stick with no scaling if you can

Same here.

Shinobi026 · 29 Apr 2015 at 10:17

i'm at work now - trying to time my lunch break so i'm at home at the crucial time

hopefully it's towards the early part of the window so I have time to set it up and check all is good.

Peter UK · 29 Apr 2015 at 10:23

Mine is arriving at home in about 30 minutes but I'm currently at work so will have to wait until tonight.

Mightyashy · 29 Apr 2015 at 10:56

Just got it, had literally 5 mins to get it on and check, only looking at the desktop couldn't see any dead pixels. Best I can do until I get home haha, had to run for a train

Deks · 29 Apr 2015 at 11:14

Mines landed. Will check it tonight altho I might be pushed for time.

I am feeling very nervous in case it's got dead/stuck pixels.

With my luck in life I'm guaranteed to be one of the unlucky ones
