Minimum Screen Resolution For ARC

ARC Skip to comments Jump to end

What is the minimum recommended screen resolution for running the ARC application on a Windows PC? I am currently evaluating Single Board Computer (SBC) displays and need to know if there is a recommended user interface resolution for ARC. I've been unable to find this information within the ARC system requirements.

Ya, that info is kinda buried in the support section under Troubleshooting/Screen Resolution. You can find it here: https://synthiam.com/Support/troubleshooting/screen-resolution 

It says:

Quote:

Screen Resolution The minimum screen resolution for ARC is 1024x768 at 100% scaling. Ideally, the recommended resolution for ARC is 1920x1080 or higher at 100% scaling. For 4k monitors, a scaling of 150% or 175% may be sufficient. Scaling will increase the size of fonts and buttons on the screen, leaving less space for additional robot skills.

Resolution Scaling Microsoft Windows has a feature to configure scale sizing, which will affect ARC's interface. If the scale sizing is set larger than recommended (100-125%), there will be less screen real-estate for robot skills, and scrollbars will be used. Restore the scaling size of Windows to the recommended sizing by following these steps...

There's more so maybe you should have a peek yourself. Have fun!

Hi smiller29,

The minimum screen resolution for running ARC is 1024x768 at 100% scaling. However, it is recommended to use 1920x1080 or higher at 100% scaling for an optimal experience.

A few additional points to note:

  • Scaling Adjustments:
    If you're using a 4k monitor, a scaling setting of 150% or 175% may work, but increasing the scaling beyond 100-125% can reduce the available screen real estate for robot skills. This can result in fewer skills being visible and the interface may start to use scrollbars.

  • Windows Scaling Settings:
    Ensure that your Windows scaling is set within the recommended range (100-125%) to prevent UI elements like fonts and buttons from expanding too much.
