43inch TV/Monitor 4k people...what scaling do you use?

[jarablue]

I have a 43 inch QN90B Samsung TV as my pc monitor. I run it at 100% scaling. Looks fine to me. Not to small and everything is crisp. What do you guys run your 43 incher at? Scaling wise?

I have switched from 100% to 125% because of the distance I sit at and to get a little more text AA which I personally like. I did run at 100% for a long time and that was fine too.

I sit about 30" away from a 40" LG C2. I suppose I'm a bit of an oddball. I wouldn't tolerate anything but 100%...100% is the point! I want the UI real estate!
I do end up centering a lot of windows if I'm reading or what not, and it can be annoying for something to be in the corners. But playing a game full screen is so immersive! People seem to like doing the 32" 4K size but I'm so fond of this setup.

125% here.

125%

 

[jarablue]

Yeah. Ima run it at 125% cause the AA with the text is nice.

100% at true 40" 4K i.e. 39.5"

 

[Dan_D]

None.

 

[JSumrall]

I really am getting old. I'm at 150% lol

Question, when you use windows scaling, does that scaling automatically transfer to games in full screen mode?

No. Games have their own UI scaling. (Or lack thereof.)

Last time I checked, windows scaling does transfers to games.

 

[DooLocsta]

100% on the 42C2

So which is it. it does scale in games or does not?

I dont think it does. I agree with Dan_d

You may conduct the test yourself. I tested the windows scaling several years ago in one of the far cry games. While it may not be obvious at first, the scaling definitely transfered into the game. Thus I always set it to 100%.
Maybe the contemoprary windows learnt to separate the different scalings, only practical tets will show. Personally, I beleive nothing has changed since last I checked it.

That would be very much an outlier. I have been running some DPI scaling for years and never has it had any effect on games.
