Line 37:
[[Windows Vista]] includes the now-ubiquitous concept of DPI virtualisation. In this mode, apps are rendered in a 96 DPI buffer off the screen and then upscaled to match the current DPI. This, while ensuring that icons and text stay intact and in the same position, introduces blurriness which is due to the fact that everything is essentially zoomed.
 
Windows 7 adds the ability to automatically set the DPI level as it can now read the DPI value from the monitor [[Extended Display Identification Data|EDID]].
== Windows 8.1 ==
The maximum scaling level settable from the Control Panel was increased from 150% to 200%, and it is now possible to independently set scaling level for each monitor.<ref>https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2013/07/15/windows-8-1-dpi-scaling-enhancements/
