Chrome browser poor resolution fix

by antennaguy1 - 6/16/11 5:33 AM

For some reason, Google Chrome downloads with low resolution, but it's easily fixed. Right-click on the Google Chrome icon on the desktop and
choose PROPERTIES.
Select the COMPATIBILITY tab and check the "Disable display
scaling on high DPI settings" checkbox.
Apply the changes and click OK to close the properties dialog.


<div>The words and objects on the screen will be small. To change default zoom for all pages, go to the wrench in the upper right corner, then to OPTIONS, UNDER
THE HOOD, WEB CONTENT.</div>

Perhaps you had some non-standard setup? Difficult to say as you provide no information about your system, so all I can say is, no problems here.

Went immediately from 1994 graphics to 2013. Google should really change the defaults so this doesn't happen. It makes them look horrible, and because of the terrible idea to go with minimalist, it's very hard to see how to find this, and so much; it's very hard to work with this browser because they wanted to look artsy and "minimalist".
