tellure Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 A note about scaling in Windows 10 - it was on by default when I first hooked up this LG 4K monitor and I couldn't believe how bad it was. Everything, including text, was really soft and I thought I had some kind of driver issue. Turns out Windows scaling just sucks and doesn't even look as good as native 1920x1200 on my ancient Dell 24". Apparently Mac has a scaling (Mac has always been better with fonts) but if you're a Windows user I would not recommend relying on scaling. kaylee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerocool22 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hey, So I bought a 4K 43,5" monitor. But it seems it is a bit too big. Is it possible to rescale the screen so it only fits 32" of the 43,5" screen? If so, how to do it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 What 4K monitor is 43.5"??!! Doesn't it have some scaling options? Usually the big ones (above 30") have PIP and screen dividers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocool22 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 BDM4350 yeah it has PIP. But I can only choose 3 formats. And none of them are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
