What’s the latest on Fusion 360 support for UHD monitors?

kdeuler — Tue, 06 Feb 2018 20:24:48 GMT

I’m considering getting a windows laptop with a UHD monitor. I’d like to know if there are still issues with using F360 with such monitor.

Thanks!

Kurt

@kdeuler Thanks for asking.

Can you elaborate about which issues you may be concerned about?

Right now, on Windows, Fusion supports 3840 x 2160, and scaling of up to 200%. Depending on the size of your laptop monitor, you may want to scale higher. (a smaller screen requires larger icons).

Personally I don't like the idea of scaling the UI to compensate for a large resolution, so I run a 27" UHD monitor at 1768 x 992, with zero scaling. It also reduces the load on my video card to produce fewer pixels, and thus performance doesn't suffer.

These two "extremes" are in the images below. There isn't much difference. Please let me know if you have more questions.

1768 x 992, @ 100%Full resolution, @ 200%
