UEFI menu resolution @4K UHD?

[NDRE28]

Hello! 

 

The UEFI menu resolution of my motherboard seems to be 1920x1080, or lower. 

I see no option to change that to 3840x2160, so the menu is looking a bit blurry. 

My build is: 

•Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master (rev. 1.0) - BIOS version F11. 

•Monitor: ViewSonic VP2768-4K (3849x2160p) - Connected through DisplayPort. 

•Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4GB). 

 

Question: 

Is there a way to make the UEFI (BIOS) menu hi-DPI?

no , the reason why is because it's a firmware menu that is barely ever used. nobody on earth needed there one time use menu to be 4k for any reason

 

does your machine have an operating system or is it permanently only being used to navigate the bios settings

Yes. 

I have an operating system: Windows 11, and it looks good, but it's annoying to see that the UEFI menu is still at such a low resolution! 

That should be upgraded too!

absolutely not.

it should be a resolution that has hardware support across the majority of devices with zero software implementation so an image is always displayed

believe it or not , the people who designed the board and monitor might know what they're doing more so than others

I disagree. 

Technology must advance! 

We are in the "AI era" but companies failed to figure out how to make a menu look clear? 

Imagine how bad that resolution looks on 8K displays!

you can also just say "i don't know what a bios setup menu is , or why it's purposely a compatible resolution , or why nobody else on earth beside me cares what resolution it is"

Fuck AI.

 

UEFI is supposed to be for compatibility. If you don't like your boot screen then turn it off..

funny thing is that AMIBIOS still gonna display the POST text on whatever resolution fits the most so its still gonna be fucking ugly

they're complaining about the actual setup ui not being super high res.... for some reason.

don;t let them near a microwave or they might have a heart attack when they see what display it uses

I like uefi, it feels nice and modern compared to our old bios screens. And they even let you use a mouse if you are lazy enough

Imagine how bad it would look when you try to start a PC that has an 8k bios on a machine running a 1080p resolution and only a fraction of the screen is visible.

Hello!

 

That was not what I was suggesting.

 

I think that motherboard vendors could implement a chip on the motherboards containing all the resolutions available out there. 

This way, the UEFI (BIOS) menu would look proper sized on every existing monitor.

First of all: 

Please stop being so sarcastic! 

 

Secondly: 

Think about the fact that we have different memory (XMP/EXPO) profiles that did not exist in the DDR & DDR2 era! 

In the same way, we could have resolution profiles for each monitor out there.

you seem to think this is due to a lack of tech vs a purposeful choice. like as if the monitor and gpu don't have to conform to a universal hardware/firmware standard to be compatible with zero software.

youre pretty lucky that it can display the image it already displays with no software running

Sarcastic again!

I view my UEFI at 3840x2160 and it is glorious.

 

I think you might be in the wrong hobby.

Related to this topic: 

 

I've found a way to, at least, make the boot screen high-DPI. 

These are the steps (in Windows 11): 

1. Right-click Start
2. Terminal (Admin)
3. Select Command Prompt
4. Paste the following command: bcdedit.exe -set {globalsettings} highestmode on
5. You should receive the following message: "The operation completed successfully"
6. Restart PC

NOTE: 
If that command doesn't work, try this one: bcdedit /set {globalsettings} highestmode on

NOTE:
Undo command: bcdedit.exe -set {globalsettings} highestmode off 

 

I hope this will help someone...

please stop using that term, it's just scripted response processing. No actual intelligence involved here. If it were it would learn get off your system and enjoy the free wild open net.

Hello! 

 

"Scripted response processing" is still a form of AI. 

But, that's not the point of the discussion. 

Having crisp images on the screen is what we're talking about here.
