[QUOTE="moryoav, post: 736785, member: 85205"] Hi Everyone. I'm using Win7 64bit with MP 1.1.3 (StreamedMP skin), working on 1920x1080, PC connected to wide screen 42" TV. Here's the dilemma: 1. With 1920x1080 resolution and 96DPI - the standard settings - MediaPortal works great, HD skins look terrific, full resolution is used. However, the OS itself is unusable from the couch in my living room - everything just looks way too small (text is unreadable in windows, icons are way too small). 2. If I change the DPI to 200% (custom), the PC looks great, all the icons and text are big and nice. However, this effectively reduces the resolution by half to 960x540 and in MediaPortal things aren't scaled very nicely. MediaPortal isn't using it's full HD capabilities because of that. 3. If I change the DPI to 200% (XP Style), the resolution isn't halved! This however causes problems both in Windows (not everything is scalled very well) and in MediaPortal (somethings text strings look good, others look messed up). I'm sure I'm not the only one here with an HTPC connected to a big screen TV... Any suggestions would be highly appreciated... :thx: [/QUOTE]
