    Hey everyone, I just got the Helix which I absolutely love. I had to set display scaling to 150% though because everything is sooooo tiny. I only use Chrome as my browser but i'm disappointed because it looks terrible. It reminds me of using a non retina app on a retina MacBook pro. The fonts and images are all blurry, but in Internet Explorer it looks totally fine. It's the latest version of it. Just wondering if this is normal or if there's an update or way to make it look normal and as expected on a high res 1080p display?

    Thanks so much that helped, but the only problem is that now it's super tiny at the normal resolution. If I zoom a website to 150% it looks fine but any new tab is at 100%, is there any way to make them always load at 150%? Tried searching google couldn't seem to find anything.
