So I bring this little Dell desktop home from work, hoping that it will work at native resolution.

It has Intel HD 530 graphics on it.
I hook it up to the monitor (via HDMI), & it comes up 2560x1440, so that worked.

And overall, everything looks better (then when hooked up to my computer), but still it is not "right", well, at least doesn't look right to me.

(Mainly talking about, text...)

Some place, some sites, look just fine.

Some, it looks washed out.

Some sites can be made to look better, but adjusting the page zoom.
Sometimes a page goes from "just not right" at 1 zoom level, to being "dark & bold" at the very next level. So you might have; gradual, gradual, gradual, them BAM, as you adjust the (browser) page zoom level.

Native resolution can work for some programs, others, it is just too small.

This board looks basically OK, but the font in this reply window is extremely fine (like a fine point pen).

When native resolution doesn't work, then we're back to changing from native, adjust in particular programs, when available, or using Windows (display) "Zoom" features.


As I'm testing, I'm using a "foreign" computer so that makes things more difficult, as "my" stuff isn't there. (And it has Win10, which seems like utter crap. Maybe crap in the way we the user is "treated", things forced upon us, rather then actual failings of the OS itself.)


So all in all, I'm not particularly pleased with what I'm seeing, even when the monitor is able to reach its potential.

I kind of expected more, like "really stunning", oh, I don't know what, but if you played a movie, something where you'd say, "wow, that looks really nice". But instead its more, "oh, its a monitor, & its OK.
