Keep in mind that if you use a DPI setting higher than 96, the text and other graphical items in programs that are not designed to work with the DPI scaling engine might appear blurry.

To compensate for those types of programs, Windows 7 incorporates a backward-compatible DPI scaling feature that will kick in when you run those programs.

Will you experiment with changing the DPI setting? If you have already changed your DPI setting, what value did you choose?
