Viewing site/forum on 4K

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?

Not sure about chrome, but you can do that with Firefox:

What OS are you using Jim?

Ah ok.

I know Windows 7 and the plain Win 8 aren't so good with 4k displays.

have you tried zooming just the browser with ctrl + + key instead of using display scaling? if it's colours, i know it sounds odd but it could be a weird sub-pixel thing with your screen and displaying black text on a particular shade of blue. Depending on the rgb placement of your individual pixels it might just be screwing with the text smoothing on your display or something. It does sound very specific

That's what I tend to do at the moment, but it doesn't correct the issue - it just makes the gaps between the letters bigger so the blurring effect acts as a halo around each letter but doesn't run into the halo of the next letter.

Since they don't join up it makes it easier to read, but still a PITA.

Could be your monitor, It is Asus after all so it wouldn't surprise me if it was faulty as I'm using the PB287Q right now and everything looks perfect on both Firefox and Chrome.

Well you're special Dice, so you've got the magic touch on things ^_^
