    I'm this close to buying the new Razer Blade, But i have a few questions about windows and handling the 3200x1800 display. First, When you guys are browsing the web or watching videos, What resolution do you use and do you change anything like scaling and what not. Lastly, What resolution do you use for games? Personally 1080p is fine for me and it would be less stress on the gpu.




    Thanks!

    I use desktop at native resolution. Chrome is suboptimal, Firefox works great.

    Apps are hit and miss, most are fine but some are blurry or the ui is badly designed. It'll get better.

    Gaming works and looks great at many resolutions.

    I use the native resolution for browsing the web or regular usage at 150% scaling.

    For gaming I either use 1080p or 16x9 depending on the game. Everything seems as sharp as native to me.

    There is a registry edit to fix Chrome on HiDPI screens. It looks as good as Firefox after applied.

    Actually 64-bit Chrome Canary (dev channel) seems to be the best for HiDPI. Enabled by default. I've noticed a few little bugs here and there but overall it's the best version. So much faster than the rest.
