display issues

I had issues with fuzzy text in certain applications and fuzzy icons in notification area immediately after updating to 8.1. I found this was due to 8.1's new "improved" DPI Scaling options and affects many people. I can't help but think that millions of users will possibly be affected by this...

Hi I was wondering whether anyone could tell me why this happens? I have a 1080i HD TV set, with a resolution of 1920 by 1080, and a 27" monitor with the same resolution. I do see that inspite of the fact that both are the same pixel dimensions they are not the same aspect ratio. I'm aware...

Text width was way too wide on some pages(way past right edge of browser). Made a bunch of changes to fix it(or try), and one included 'font matching', or something close to that. Now many font sizes are obviously incorrect. Want to get them back. Can't find the syntax. This started with the...
