Description

I have just acquired a 4K Monitor (23.8”) and I gave my old 1920 x 1280 24” away before I ran Rhino 5 on the new thing… Turns out a lot of Rhino’s interface architecture is not scalable. So I found myself staring at a Rhino interface screen I could barely read, with miniature icons etc. SO I bought a cheap 1920 x 1080, and problem fixed!... Except it wasn’t.

I had set up the monitors side by side and thought I could simply switch monitors via the display set-up. Go from 3840x2160 on a scalable app and then switch over to 1920x1080 for Rhino.

That only worked a bit. The interface on the 2nd monitor was just wrong! AND after seeing anything on a 4K, going back to HD is a huge visual step down!

Quite simply, a rhino scene (Even with tiny icons etc) on a 4K is so superior to HD that I knew I had to learn to live with it.

So I thought I’d have a test build using the 4K of Monitor only. Nothing technical or sourced. Just something I could try out my usual methods on. This image is the result. (Rescaled down to 1920 X 1080)

I have heard that Rhino 6 will be 4K compatible. So until then I’ll stick with Rhino 5 on the 4K and wear my glasses a LOT more!
