Question Text scaling/quality issues

[videobruce]

With my W7 and a 1060 Nvidea card using 125% scaling and clear type there was NO issue.
Doing the same in W10 w/ a 1060 card is a disaster. Most of the text is blurry and fuzzy (pardon the non technical terms) probably due to poor scaling.
Running at 100%, the text is too small, 150% it's too large.
This is using most applications most noticeable is OpenOffice.

I've tried numerous different Nvidea driver versions with no difference. The monitor is a Acer BW257 1920x1200 using DP. Note, this is a 16x10 1200p aspect ratio, not a 16x9 1080p. Note that it shouldn't matter, this is a ISP display. I've even resorted back to the stock MS drivers

Using Win 7 Pro with a older 1060 card, there was NO issue what so ever! Clear type was checked (which was the 'clearer' setting) both times. 100% scaling was just too small.

No other tweaking was done, thou I tried different fonts and font sizes, with no real difference.

I know it's late but I discovered this just today. Maybe messing with these options fixes your issue?

Thanks, but I don't/won't use Chrome-Dome and that appears to just be for that program.
Apparently, M$ decided to change the scaling properties from 7 to 10 and it doesn't play well in some situations, namely mine.

The solution was go back to W7 where it wasn't broke and I didn't have to but a new monitor as it was also reported the monitor may have something to do with it. W10 is a processor hog with around 57 svchost.exe's running as opposed to 14 in W7 (I counted). And that was just for starters.Bottom line 10 doesn't do anything more or better (other than the additional USB3 support) for me. I don't need or want all the 'bells & whistles' 10 has packed into it.

New isn't always better. 🙄 And no, I'm NOT paranoid about security. I do take adequate precautions.

It has nothing to do with Chrome. He gave generic example how to change DPI/scaling related settings per application.

But they don't all have that option.

But they don't all have that option.

Pretty much all of the programs / shortcuts I've seen have it.
