1080p text

Post by Trench »

This is what the Battlefield chat text looks like in 1080p for me. Note it's a full 1920x1080 lossless PNG screen shot, so make sure you're viewing it at 100%.

Lol trench. When I said the text looks good in 1440 I meant text in Windows…like MS Word or Chrome or whatever.

Your text looks great though. 1080p does the blocky resolution just right…

No worries. "Text looks crappy except at one specific resolution" is a common Battlefield 1942 complaint, so when you were talking about "how text looked" while playing the game, naturally went to one assumption rather than the other.

For Windows itself, it would seem very unusual for the resolution to be "unclear", except if we're somehow forcing a non-native resolution of the LCD monitor. e.g. You're configuring to 1440 as the desired resolution, but the laptop's built-in LCD you're viewing it on is actually natively 1200 or 1080 or something else, forcing a "squish" to be done somewhere.

Looks better than my in game text.

Mine is more fuzzy and a tad squished comparatively speaking.

Yeah my 1440 text got the squish fuzz treatment. Yet another reason to stick with 1080. On my win7 machine I run windowed and with borderless gaming maximizing the window automatically for me, don’t know if that helps with text /resolution scaling or not. I also run the edited font file that I posted about in my other tweaks thread.

BBO congratulations on growing some fuzz. Don’t feel too bad on it being a tad bit squished.

Mine is in Braille. It's a bitch to read the screen after I sneeze.

Trench I’m actually noticing text in windows is actually pretty blocky on the 27” 1080p monitor….the perfect monitor yet eludes me….
