Platinum VIP -=HipKat=- Posted July 30, 2018 Platinum VIP Posted July 30, 2018 So I got a new Samsung 28" 4K monitor and had set scaling to 200% so everything on the desktop wasn't so tiny, but made larger than the screen. If I set scaling back to 150% ET is perfect, but now i have tiny everything else. Is there a way to have good size icons, browser, etc and still have ET fit the screen? Quote
Symfony Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 for 4k 200% is normal scaling. Did you log out and back in after you set the scaling? Some programs won't pick up the proper settings without a relog or reboot. 1 Quote

Yes you can, ditch Win10 and get win8.1. Unless you want to play games with DX12 support... Quote

Vanaraud Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) Apparently getting Win10 is;) When nothing works on it...

cookiem0nster Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Scaling is used to make the resolution fit inside the full screen size usually, unless we are talking about two different things. You can make everything larger and still fit properly, I did that on my 4k 55" tv pretty easy. I will try to grab the settings tonight. 1 Quote

Set scaling to 200% and for ET, in Compatibility Mode/Change High DPI Settings, I checked the boxes for Program DPI and High DPI Override and now ET fits the screen perfectly Quote
