    # How to fix the DaVinci Resolve DPI Scaling Problem / blurry fonts on Windows

    Using a High-DPI monitor with high resolutions such as 3840px and above, you may have noticed that DaVinci Resolve does not really care about Windows system scaling settings.

    You may have *also* tried to force override DPI handling in the shortcut properties, which kind of works, but makes fonts blurry.
