I am using windows 8 and would like to know how to get the most out of using 1080p resolution on my desktop. The fonts look bogus even after trying to use cleartype etc. 

Can be found on my profiIe

It's probably a driver issue or improper monitor calibration. 

 

You can try to force and downscale from a higher resolution, that might help. Only thing after that is a 1440p korean. 

 

 

 

 

also shorten that sig its painful to look at

Error: 410

The icons still look great but the fonts just don't scale with everything else properly.

You do know post farming is against CoC? If you cant really help the OP you shouldnt post, and specially useless posts like that one.

To the op, which monitor do you have?

You don't have to shorten it. Just put it in a spoiler. An actual spoiler. 

Stuff

You are using <>'s, but it uses []'s. 

Also, always use Ctrl+Shift+V or "Paste as plain text". you carried the font/background with it, which looks terrible on dark theme.

Can you message me the sample of how to do it. I have not a clue. It's been a long time since I played with any type of code.

I did a calibration and the gamma I guess was slightly off. I can see an improvement, but it is not quite were I want it to be.

Hope you can resolve your problems :(
