Autocad wont recognize my resolution as high enough

I have my resolution on max (more than 1800) and my scale at 150%. Autocad sends a pop up message about my resolution not being high enough, and that it needs to be over 1500.. which it is! What do I do? i DONT want to lower my scale because I cant see those tiny letters.... Pls help

But I do not want to lower my scale (as I cant see below 150%). My resolution is already on max

Sadly you cannot fight a program limitation (aka requirement). Sorry. It's the 150% scaling that is holding you back from keeping the 1800.

Here are the ways to open a support case with Autodesk if you are on subscription to seek out Autodesk Support's help if you want to tap them direct:

If just text visibility is the issue you can increase that independent of display scale.
