Display issue - Dell XPS Notebook

slipd · 27 May 2019 at 22:50

Hi guys,

Just been issued a top laptop from work, 4k touchscreen etc. - it looks and plays amazing! There are are a few issues with the desktop display though... something to do with scaling possibly? All the settings are stock/recommended.

For example, when product ads (Avira, Ccleaner etc.) pop up in the bottom-right hand corner, they're tiny! Barely readable. I'm not using it now but the resolution is very high - still only what's recommended. Latest nVidia drivers, through Experience.

Any ideas?

Set up the scaling in Windows 10 (assuming it is a Windows laptop) to 150% or more. If it doesn't fix those tiny windows then it could be that they're not optimised for scaling properly

Thanks! I think the scaling is already at 250% - the recommended setting.

This is what I'm referring to:

The text/images are diddy

I get the same text size on the NVIDIA control panel (4k Monitor too). It must be the actual app not adhering to the scaling sizes. Not much you can do really I think

Just windows scaling issues - nothing you can do I don't think

Uninstall Avira and turn off CCleaner monitoring.

Or lower your resolution (bad option)

The only way these issues get fixed if they are reported. I'm sure many people will have bad experiences of reporting bugs/nothing happening but it's the only way.
