If you look closely you can clearly see the major difference in clarity between the two browsers, with Internet Explorer being much clearer than Google Chrome. Internet Explorer is on the left, while Chrome is on the right. That is more than a 40% increase in pixel density between the two devices.īelow is an image of the same article from Microsoft Fanboys displayed in both Internet Explorer 10 and the latest version of Google Chrome side by side in a desktop snapped view on my Surface Pro. As a comparison, the Surface Pro has a PPI of 207.82, while the Surface RT has a PPI of 148. I have three 24” monitors and, a laptop and a Surface for Windows RT and have not run in to the DPI scaling until I installed Google Chrome (and Google Talk) on my Surface for Windows 8 Pro.
The Surface for Windows 8 Pro which launched this past week just happens to be one of the devices that kicks the Windows 8 DPI scaling in to effect. Switch between open windows: Alt + Tab Minimize everything and show desktop: (or between the desktop and Start screen in Windows 8.1): Windows Key + D. For most Windows 8 users this probably hasn’t been an issue unless they have been running in desktop resolutions at or greater than 1080p (1920x1080) on a quality display. PPI stands for pixels per inch (DPI is dots per inch), and is a term used more and more frequently when referring to high-quality displays with higher than normal pixel densities. Windows 8 has a little known feature that automatically scales apps and text (fonts) on high-PPI displays, and we’re going to discuss how to adjust Windows 8 display settings for high DPI/PPI screens.
