Text Scaling Help ~ With 2560x1440 monitor

JessieD · 2 Mar 2018 at 09:37

I received a new monitor from OCUK yesterday. An AOC 27" Q2778VQE QHD it runs natively at 2560x1440.
I'm curious as to what others with monitors running at this resolution have text scaling set at in their windows os. Also any tips on getting applications to play nice at higher scaling levels?

To complicate things I have it in a three way multimonitor setup with 24" & a 27" both running natively at 1920x1080. And text scaling cannot be done on an individual monitor basis in Windows 7.

thanks

Don't need what?

You dont need any scaling at 1440p

Depends on viewing distance and eyesight but I use 100% for both my 25" @1440p so 27" should be fine also. Personal preference at the end of the day.

I use 105%

I think I must be faulty (me not the monitor) it is two small to comfortably read at even 125% which is what I had it at before

different operating systems can effect this.

Windows 7 & I've got scaling at 185%, it makes the other screens horrid though
