Title: TheaterMode on UHD Monitor
Post by: duke.g on August 09, 2020, 02:35:15 PM
Hi all,
I have a small "problem" when using theatermode on my UHD-Monitor. The pictures have a really bad quality.
Is there a possibility to influence the resizing by setting somm (hidden) parameters or something like that.

Her is an example to show what I mean:

What's the resolution of the pictures you're using? Perhaps you need better quality (higher resolution) artwork.

Those images look really weird.
They don't seem just low-res, but as if both a posterizing effect and some scarface plugin was applied.

Sorry, no clue how that could have happened, or what the source of those images are, just an observation.


edit:
They resemble a bit how low-quality .gifs sometimes look like.
Maybe they are gif? And not jpg or png?

Hello all,

I found the solution myself. As I said I use a 4k Monitor but I've set the Windows 10 scaling to 175%. In order for the Skins to look right one then has to set the "High DPI-Settings" on the Compatibility Page in the properties dialog window for the Application. There you have to check  "Overwrite High-DPI-Scaling" and set it to "System". If you set it to "System Extended" you get the effect I showed in my first Screenshot. Excuse me, if the translations for the Settings are wrong, but I have a german system.
Here is a Screenshot:

Thank you very much for thinking about the problem.
