    Hi all,

    I used to own an MSI GS60 Ghost Pro. Every time I connected the laptop to an external monitor, I had to turn on DPI scaling to 120% for the external monitor. That also meant I lost usable space on the screen too. Without DPI scaling, the texts were fuzzy. The DPI scaling drove me insane, so I returned the laptop.

    Will the Gigabyte P35W or P35X have the same problem?

    The reason I'm asking is right now I'm using a business laptop Dell E6540 which runs on AMD Radeon 8790 and I don't have to do DPI scaling when connecting to a monitor. Both the laptop and external monitor run at 100% native scaling.
    Thanks in advance.
