TX.MikeDillard Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 I recently installed a 4k monitor which causes all kinds of problems with screen visibility. Windows 10 allows you to enlarge the fonts to compensate for the high pixel count. The ISY program does not take advantage of that Windows option and therefore the ISY screens are virtually unreadable. I found the font size option in the administrative console which helps but the maximum 20 font size is still not sufficient. Also, the ISY dashboard does not have a font option. Either increase option for the font size or link into the Windows enlarge option. Please!

TX.MikeDillard Posted November 2, 2016 Author Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks for the recommendation. It works great.
Techman Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks for the recommendation. It works great. Hopefully this issue will be resolved in the version 5 release, which currently is still in Alpha testing.
MWareman Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 A possibly better option is to select 'High-DPI' mode instead of XP mode. It is more specific.... However, try both and stick with the one that works best!

MWareman Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 The high DPI mode didn't resolve the problem with Windows 10Shame.... It's supposed to. My home monitor is not high DPI, so I have not had a chance to test it.
Peabods Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Thank you for this post, I've been squinting for the last two years on this laptop! XP mode is much better!

Peabods Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 The XP service pack 3 compatibility mode seems to work the best. Yup,that's the one that worked the best for me as well!
nickp Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 Alternate solution: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&sku=210-AHSQ This is a 4K monitor with the same dot-pitch as a 22" 1080P monitor. So the dots are nice and big, there are just more of them. Yeah, I'm bragging.
