    Hey.

    Do you guys have blurry fonts on Firefox 4 on your Dell XPS 15?

    I think the blurry fonts are caused by the hardware acceleration, alot of people are having this problem if you search in google, but I wanted to post here as I wanted opinions of other Dell XPS 15 owners if they are having this blurry or not easy to read font issue on their Firefox 4?

    Also, by using 1080p screen most of you know that browsing the text is very small, so if your using Google Chrome or Firefox 4, how have you modified it so the text is easy to read and browsing is easy?

    I use Google Chrome and there is an option to increase page zoom default from 100% to 120%, but 120% is too big and 100% is too small and zoom level cant be changed to custom.

    Please share your opinions.

    Thanks.

    I have that problem with Chrome. Can get rid of it by right click/properties/compatability/check box of "Disable Display Scaling of High DPI". But then this solution screws up formating on many websites.

    One of the reasons I use IE9 these days.
