Viewing site/forum on 4K

I'm having real issues reading the boards/site at home with my 4K screen (no DPI adjustment), and OC3D is the only one I have issues with (tried IE and Chrome).

If I look at the site on my 1080p monitors it looks great, or zoomed in at 300% on my 4K. If I take a screenshot, and view it on my 1080p monitors, again, it looks OK. So instead, I've taken a photo: http://imgur.com/wEtdZdW

There's a sort of light blue shadow around all of the letters which makes it really tricky to read. Is this a factor of the font / background or something like that? I'm really not sure what to try right now.
 
that looks like some funky sub-pixel shit, that's definitely not something the website will have control over bud.

There was a font rendering change with one of the releases of chrome, just out of interest does it also do it in firefox?
 
Yeah, Firefox as well. It's just weird as it's only OC3D that I've noticed it on, and I can't think what would be causing it.
 
32-bit FF, 64-bit OS. Same issue on IE, Chrome, FF.

Even zoomed to huge size it still looks pretty odd, it takes until 300% before it clears up.
 
I find using a 32" monitor for 2160p works great as there is not need to zoom in to read text and so no scaling problems.

I would not want to use a 28" screen as it would involve too much zooming in and bad image quality.

I'm perfectly happy with my 28" screen, it works fine for my usage and everything looks great - apart from OC3D, unfortunately.

I dont have that issues when looking at the site or forums on the bench rig with 4K Asus monitor dude :/

Im sure Dice had a 4K screen recently and he would bitch like a little girl if he had a problem like that!

Thanks for that, helps to eliminate one side of it.

Such a weird issue, must be some specific combo of my setup in Windows that conflicts with OC3D somehow. I'll have to have a think about what I can do to stop it from happening.
 
No issues like that for me on the site, the only thing I have is big black sections at the side of the forum because of viewing it on a 4K monitor and not zooming in.
 
OP I think the issue is on your end, as I view the site on 4k monitors and have no issues whatsoever, I dont even have to zoom in or play with scaling to make the words visible.

Damn right !

In all fairness the only monitor I've ever moaned about was the Swift considering I had 4 faulty monitors all with dead pixels, Stuck pixels and flickering :eek:

I don't recall having any issues with the site when I used the PB287Q, Never used scaling either and the site was easy to read, Albeit small, No blue hue around the letters either.

Could be a GPU driver that's causing it perhaps or maybe the monitor has gone a little funky ?

Looking at that PIC, its the DPI scaling in windows with the font if I remember correctly, if you slightly nudge the DPI settings in windows it gets rid of it.

Its been a few years since I've seen that so I'm going off my sieve memory :p

**edit***

Also if that fails, look at the ICM colour profiles (for some reason that ringing a bell too)

I've just spent some time looking into this, and it's colour related. Obviously there's more to it, in that there's no issue on my 1080p monitors, but it's the only thing I've seen so far that fixes it.

If I change the background colour to white (via Chrome inspect element), or change text to white, it looks fine. The same thing is apparent from people's signatures etc where they've used different colours.

Is there any way I can make my browser render the text in a different colour by default?
