Monitors and DPI Scaling - What is your situation?

[sityeuropa]

Another thing I have noticed.

When using a multi monitor setup within Windows 10 latest version.

Preset scaling will blur text on applications with some applications. So if you set your main monitor to say 125% and your other monitors are 100%, you will get blurry text on the secondary monitors.

If you use Custom Scaling which affects applies to ALL monitors, there is no text blurring, so I have to use Customer Scaling because of this

Anyone else get this issue?

It is due to the "DPI Virtualisation" feature in Windows 10 - if any display has other than 100% set any application the OS doesn't know it scaling aware is processed through a virtual renderer and then rescaled to match the DPI of the screen its displayed on.

EDIT: I thought it resulted in blurry text using preset or custom but custom maybe disables compatibility mode - I think someone mentioned something about that difference between preset and custom before.

EDIT2: Not sure how upto date it is but this explains some of the behaviour http://news.kynosarges.org/2015/09/05/dpi-settings-in-windows-10/

Beyond resolution which is the total number of available pixels and their size compared to the whole panel's size, there is one another thing which has a direct influence on people experience and eyes strain. The distance between the pixels themselves is left relatively wide and it's blank, just black lines which the brain processes.
