Screentogif: Screen size detection is wrong, actural 1920*1080 but show 1919*1079

[levid7]

My screen is 19201080. However when I use screen mode to select, it show the screen is 19191079. How should I do to capture the full screen 1920*1080? Thanks.

Which recorder are you using? The new one?
If so, which selection mode are you using?
If the "region" mode, you can drag 1 pixel to the sides to actually get that one missing pixel.

Or you could simply select the "screen" mode.

[levid7]

I use the new interface and DirectX capture mode. When choosing the screen size, I use the 'screen' mode, but it tells my screen is 1919x1079. Screenshot through PrtSc is attached here, which is 1920x1080.

[NickeManarin]

Are you using a high DPI screen?

[levid7]

I don't know whether 1920x1080 is of high DPI. This resolution is my laptop screen resolution, Thinkpad X380 Yoga.

DPI and resolution are separate things.

Im going to guess that @NickeManarin wants to know if this setting has been changed. Default is 100% or 96DPI (DPI = Dots Per Inch) If you changed it the show us what the settings are now.

[levid7]

O, I got it. Yes I have changed my screen DPI scale, it is 125%. When I change it back to 100%, the screen size indentification is right, 1920x1080.

[NickeManarin]

What probably is happening is that the app is receiving the resolution scaled and when converting to 96DPI, it's not rounding correctly the values.

[the-j0k3r]

This is predictable, 96DPI = 100% \ 4 = 24DPI increments for each added 25% increase, up to 225% max DPI or 240DPI

That is until some user decides to use this

[levid7]

What probably is happening is that the app is receiving the resolution scaled and when converting to 96DPI, it's not rounding correctly the values.

Is there any chance to fix this issue?

[NickeManarin]

@levid7 I'm working with this right now. I actually redesigning that recorder, to work better with high DPI (and multiple screens) (the other already was update with a better support).

[levid7]

Great and thanks! Waiting for the update.

Ditto, same issue, frequently off by one pixel. Not messing with resolution

[NickeManarin]

It's done. Since from now on, the recorder will support a multi-DPI set of screens, I'm displaying the actual size and the native size next to it.

If the screen has a scaling of x1.00, only the native size will be displayed.

I'm also working on some optional changes for the recorder UI, you'll be able to check some details about the current selected screen.

[SJT1988]

This is not my reported issue. My reported issue concerned the Cinemagraph
feature.
