    hi everyone so i have a 15.6" dv6t with a 1080 display and works great but when i use google chrome or firefox everything looks too small and i have always need to zoom the page. IE works fine but i am not a big fan and i was wondering if i could fix the problem

    in chrome, you can set the default zoom n the options.

    in firefox, you should be able to do that, too.

    Same problem for all the 1080p screens like my Asus, the culprit is that when you zoom in using the browser, the images will be blurry as Firefox (and some others) will apply anti-aliasing. Use in %100 zoom or live with that.

    Another vote for NoSquint in Firefox - pretty much a must on anything above 1440x900.
