Ruler calibration is not working

Open NinFanBoyFTW opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Hi, I have been trying to calibrate my ruler on my 1080p 27 inch monitor. My DPI is 96 and I am using 100% scale on the monitor, but the measurements do not line up when I put a physical ruler up to the monitor. No matter what settings I put, I cannot get the on screen ruler to line up (in inches) with my real life measuring tape

Hi @NinFanBoyFTW, how far off is the ruler scale from the "real" measuring? In case you can get near the real measurement but the calibration settings aren't precise enough to get a perfect matching, maybe making the DPI settings more precise, as suggested in #29, could solve your issue?

This is how I did it: I opened the calibration dialog and put a ruler on my screen. Then I changed the DPI until it matched my physical ruler.

There is a link in the calibration window, by the way, that leads to a random SourceForge forum page. Would remove this...
