Running mbed tools on a high resolution screen (e.g. QHD+ Windows 10)

Hi

I need to replace my ageing laptop and most light-weight performance ones now come with QHD+ displays.

I had previously held back (in Windows 7) due to development applications looking awful due to poor scaling, unreadable text and icons requiring a magnifying glass to see them!

How does the mbed environment (e.g. Compiler) look on latest Windows 10 notebook (e.g. 13") displays? I'm looking at the HP Envy 13 amongst others.

Thanks.

Chris

Hi Chris,

I don't have a QHD+ screen so I can't comment on that. But I have ran the compiler on a 2560x1080 monitor and it looked great!

Thanks Brian.

QHD+ is 3200 x 1800 so hopefully someone can confirm it looks great on this too!

Using higher resolution screens will be okay, set the graphic card to the screens native resolution and scale the web window by using CTRL- and CTRL+ so you can read the small text, doesn't 'smudge' the image. If you are using a 65" screen should be no problem :) I use a 32" 4k monitor, but at a further distance compared to a 19" 2k. Tried a 55" curved 4k screen, that looked good but toooo big had to sit 2 meters from it.
