Changed My Chrome Settings / myLot

Green Bay, Wisconsin

December 12, 2015 1:54pm CST

I just set the font at 150%. Now I can see without squinting at the screen. This laptop has a 15" screen which makes it hard to read all the ridiculously small print. My desktop has a 25" monitor and I love it. I can see everything just perfect. I wish I could attach it to my laptop, but that's not going to happen. I just need to back the setting off in order to find the pencil so I can write another post. However, it will go right back to 150% so I can read them. How big is your monitor and do you need to adjust it to be able to read? Thanks for reading.

IF it works like my stuff does holding control and using the + or - on the keyboard at the same time makes things bigger or smaller

@just4him over the years I have picked up some keyboard short cuts

My monitor is 15" screen on my laptop.. My problem is that it will occasionally zoom out and became so big I can't see what is going on at all. Not so much anymore but, when I fist got Windows10 it was happening all of the time.

Is that one of the problems with Windows 10?

I don't know how big my desktop screen is, I never measured it. But I have trouble too reading the stuff and sometimes put the screen at 150% too.

Getting old is hard. I've need zoom for a while now for just about everything.

Maybe I should fiddle with my settings, too. I have a 20 inch monitor.

It could save your eyes a lot of eyestrain.

Sometimes I use reading glasses. However, it is easier to just make the font larger!

@just4him - I just use regular reading glasses. Perhaps it would be better to get special computer glasses. However, using a bigger font is probably the best idea.

Yes it is. I have computer glasses and still it's difficult.

@DeborahDiane My computer glasses are prescription. I can't use my regular glasses as the bifocal messes with my ability to work on the computer. A larger font is the better idea.
