I went from high quality 1440p panels to medium quality 4k panels and ugh.
While the resolution bump is obviously substantial in games, the color is noticeably worse and ohhh my eyes fro m what i can only assume is the pwm backlight which my old displays didnt have.
i find turning the brightness down helps, but that just makes the bad colors worse.
Still - not the point of the post.
Scaling, atrocious! I got rid of surround and sli due to the hoops i had to jump through just to get everything to work as it should.
Now i have some apps looking huge. some looking blurry. and fortunately some scale ok.
Still - more to the point of the post. For some reason after installing these monitors the post text under the asus logo "Please press F2 or DEL to enter UEFI bios" is HUGE.
its not pixelated, and looks nice, its just HUGE. bigger than the Asus logo itself >.<
I can only surmise that windows is somehow scaling this? But why? How? Even if i disable scaling in windows and restart - that text is still ginormous.
I can fix it 2 ways that i can ascertain (even though this cant be the ONLY two ways as theyre A) un ideal and B) werent necessary before these 4k displays).
1) turn on CSM (seems to turn it back small, albeit blocky)
2) change the boot logo display from "auto" to "full" which shrinks the font back to blocky - but then enlarges the damn asus logo to something twice as big and pixelated.
Any ideas on the post screen stuff? The rest i know i get to live with
