The issue
  • I've searched on few CM forums, and I've read that : "if you want a bigger UI, just lower the resolution", so I've tried 1920x1080 ... BUT the drawback here = the font was very pixelated, like the 3D game display (even with AA in game or in NVIDIA panel) !?
  • No solution found anywhere ... So you had to choose between buying a magnifying glass :-) or sticking with a readable but ugly UI and no AA ...
The solution
  • But today ... 'Eureka' :-)
    • Why I choose 1920x1080 resolution ? Simply because it's just the first lower 16/9 (!) resolution ... below my 2560x1440 resolution ... 16/9 too !
    • But it was the wrong way ... The CMx2 titles resolution start at 1024x768 => 16/10 !!!
    • So I replace by this "marvelous :-)" 1920x1200 resolution (16/10 too) and everything works fine, very near to my native 2K resolution
To sump up
My parameters on my 2K screen are simply :
  • 125% Windows upscaling, so with : 'Override high DPI scaling behaviour. Scaling performed by:' 'Application' (see the 4K guide)
  • AA in game
  • 'display size.txt' with '1920 1200 0'
  • 3D model quality: improved
  • 3D texture quality: best
  • (And NO complicated configuration in the NVIDIA panel ;-) )

@ZIMNY
If this doesn't solve your problem (of course, if you got the 16/10 resolution right), another thing to be aware of for CM is to not enable FXAA... which also results in a blurry/pixelated font

Hi,
I have same issue
but it looks like this solution doesn't work for me.
Do You have any other idea what can I do to get good quality?
The font in this pixelated form is very tiring
