I play my main desktop on my 42" 1080p plasma tv and the text is hard to see so I have dpi scaling set to 150%. I was wondering if this has any affect on video games that I play, I assume once the game starts the dpi scaling doesnt apply anymore. I know you can disable display scaling in the compatibility tab of programs but is that even necessary with games... I mean the quality and size in games seem normal, I just wanna be sure ya know?

Also, anyone else who games on a larger tv with a computer, is it normal for it to be hard to see text in some games, like simcity for example at 1920x1080 the text shows up sooo small.

All help is appreciated. :D
