    Hello,

    I want to get myself a notebook with a screen resolution of 1080p. It's a 13" screen. I worry that the pixel density is too high for a screen of that size and that text will be too small. What are your experiences with such screens? Is it tiring the eyes when reading long text passages?


    Thanks for your time?


    Edit: I forgot to mention that my eyesight is pretty good.

    Scale DPI if you are reading alot. Turn it back down when done. Everything will look so much more crisp because of the high density of pixels.

    I did read that when scaling up the DPI it often has no effect to the font size in some application plus some images might be blurry. So for you this resolution withj 100 DPI is too small for reading, you always have to scale it up?

    I have been running 1080P on a 11.6" S7 and the smaller Surface Pro. Although text can be hard to read it's not bad. Very easy to zoom in and out with a touch screen also.
