just my new acer ferrari 4000, but the display seems to be really small. i have it set on screen resolution of 1680x1050 and all windows and texts seem tiny.
ive tried changing to a the dpi from 96dpi to 120 dpi as i do this the windows still looks small. ive had a go at the custom dpi setting but the icons and taskbar begin to look choppy and dotted.

any ideas????

ive tried lowering the resolution but just makes thinks worse, looks more choppy and blurred. also when surfing the net the webpages dont not scale up to the window size, so on sites it only takes up half the the screen.

help!!

I might not know what im talking about its just a guess, lol. Try going to properties then go to settings and change the window size and text size from there. Like I said I may be wrong, but why not try right?

The resolution on the Ferrari is WSXGA+ or 1680x1050. As you've noticed, using a LCD at a non-native resolution makes things blurry/fuzzy. I think you've done the things you can.
