25" contacts smaller than in 22"

[Rikus]

I sold my monitor 22" 1680 x 1050 and i buy a Dell u2515h thats a great monitor of 25" 2560 x 1440

 

I thougt that with a bigger monitor i will see contacts bigger and smoother, i was wrong.

 

Now i see smaller, how it´s possible?

Your new bigger monitor has so much more pixels that they end up being smaller despite the monitor being bigger. When the contact is only size of a few pixels bigger pixels will make it easier to see.

Same way as if you lower the resolution of your windows desktop stuff gets bigger (icons, letters, all...) and if you increase the resolution everything gets smaller...

 

Your new monitor has a higher resolution.

Your new monitor has a higher resolution.

 

A much higher resolution, about 40%, with only a slight increase, about 10%, in screen size.

I'm bit guessing here but the higher resolution might not be the root of the problem. It should be actually opposite, with higher resolution the details should be more visible.

What might be causing the problem is the field of view (aka zoom) being different due to the aspect ratio being changed - screen proportions from 16:10 o 16:9.

I've recently changed the monitors from FullHD to wide screen. The result was opposite - everything was extreamly zoomed in and I had to extend the FOV to get back to my previous, "natural " setting.

The point is "bigger and smoother".

Bigger? No! Smoother, as in more detail, yes!

The advantage in DCS is, the higher the resolution the earlier you can spot planes or vehicles, unless you use the "model enlargement".

I´ll try thanks.

 

I hope it works, because in my 2K monitor looks little, in a 4K...
