( Sony E3 reference)Ĭalculator turned into a full-screen application. I knew I shouldn’t, but I wanted to attacked this giant enemy DPI for massive damage. Theoretically you would need a 12-inch display with a resolution of 7000×5250 to properly appreciate 480 DPI. I wasn’t quite sure for which decade this feature was aimed at, but it was technically possible. The highest possible DPI setting was 500%. You will not be able to revert this change without knowledge of keyboard shortcuts. Also to note, sadly Sidebar gadgets do not scale at all. For example, the search icon in Windows Explorer is definitely out-of-place, and the power control buttons in the Start menu is way out of proportion. But when you get to 192DPI, things become awkward. Everything is still reasonably crisp and usable. Please note: the images may take short while to appear due to the high quality and large file sizes.ĩ6 DPI (Default) | 120 DPI (125%) | 144 DPI (150%) | 192 DPI (200%)Īs you can see, the interface scales quite nicely all the way up to 144DPI. Hover over the links to change the image. So exactly how good does it look? I’ve put together this comparison to show you exactly that. But in practice, due to lack of vectorized interface elements and icons, it’s not perfect. In theory, everything should look just as crisp and detailed compared to the default 96 DPI. This allows icons, interfaces and text to be scaled bigger to compensate for the extra pixels. Windows Vista aims to reduce the negative effects of high-DPI displays by introducing an updated DPI-scaling engine for the desktop compositor. But who doesn’t want more pixels? The more pixels, the clearer the image. Whilst desktop monitors has always maintained the adequately readable 96 DPI standard with LCD displays, pixel-density on laptops has reached as high as 144 DPI, and that means smaller interfaces and fonts.
Now’s a good time to invest in the laser eye surgery business. As anyone who uses an ultra-portable laptop would know, reading ultra-minimalistic weblogs with 9px-sized fonts on a high-resolution 1400×1050 display panel spanning an entire 12″ is like an everyday blessing for eye-care companies.
