Exactly.
You can see the same thing with LCD TVs nowadays, with so many of them having a so-called 'HD Ready' resolution of a mere 1366x768 pixels, when monitors have been doing 1080p and more for years and for less money!Seriously, the tuner and other bits really don't cost very much to put in, so they're just ripping off the customer. Again.
Yea... its about time all these 720p TVs came down in price, a lot. also, i think its about time for more 2560x1440 monitors at 27in+ and at a much lower price! hell if they can squeeze 1920x1080 into less than 5in... then they could probably do 2560x1440 in a 19-21in monitor.
Didn't know it was auto DPI , like you said...
Now i know that windows is doing a shitty job at it , thx!
My dad got an 21.5" monitor at 1920x1080 (yes Win7 in case you are wondering) & i find that to small for that type of monitor (had to adjust the DPI manually) anyways i thing it should be 1680x1050/1600x900 max. for an 20-22" monitor & the 1920x1080 should be left out to only 23"-27" size
Using a bigger DPI makes letters looks odd , looks like a lower resolution quality so what is the point of using higher DPI if it going to look like a crappy lower resolution?
Back in 2000 or 2001 don't remember exactly when i was shopping for an 17" CRT all the 17" monitors had a 1280x1024 as max resolution but one was able to do 1600x1200 so i pick out this one , after that i understood why most of them didn't get higher than 1280x1024 , at 1600x1200 on 17" was way to small for desktop use
So i kept it at 1280x1024 for everything & used the 1600x1200 for games only (only a few)
BTW: Yes! my eyes are find no need glasses yet (last time had them check 3 months ago) i just don't like it when it is to small or to big (DPI) so if need be ill adjust manually the DPI but as for my 24" monitor i don't feel like i need to it's "perfect" the way it is
did you run the calibration wizard for the fonts for "clear type" http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/tune.aspx
