Problems with Microsoft IE and High-resolution ScreensBeginning with Internet Explorer version 6, Microsoft IE scales web pages when you have your computer screen resolution set higher than normal (above 96 DPI). For example, if you view a Web page that contains an image that is 100 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall, and your Screen DPI is set to 120, the browser will render the image 125 pixels wide by 125 pixels tall. This stretching tends to degrade the image quality. This degradation is especially noticeable when the images contain high-contrast content of the type common on this site. Details about IE's behavior can be found in this Microsoft Brief. Your screen is set to: ??? DPI If the lines above indicates that your screen DPI is greater than 96 and scaling is ON, you will be experiencing the image degradation outlined above. You can turn off Internet Explorer's display scaling and later restore your original settings by clicking the appropriate link below. After clicking a link below, you must close and reopen IE before the change will take effect. Note: The screen scaling problem is unique to Microsoft Internet Explorer. Other Web browsers, such as Firefox, do not apply screen scaling. |
