Simple solution to fix the display problem on Surface Pro 3 for AR Live 2014.4
Due to the current display issues and user complaints on the Surface Pro 3 I recommend this simple solution:
Get in to the main Windows screen.
Right click on the main Windows screen.
Go to screen resolution.
Leave reolution at the recommended "2160X1440".
Click on "make text and other items larger or smaller".
Tick on "custom" and make it 170%.
See below where it says "change the text size only".
Change the font to 11 for each one of the 5 categories from titlebars to tooltips.
Do not forget to click Apply.
The system will log off.
Log on.
Open Myob.
The open files and the main menu will still look tiny.
My Surface takes 2-3 minutes (and perhaps more) for Myob to display correctly.
When it displays correctly and when you exit Myob and open again, the open files and the main menu will look proper.
When you restart the Surface and open Myob, everything is small again. Just wait as mentioned before and everything will come good. You can work if you like if it's not too small for you. During the waiting period you will notice Myob will change in 3 stages before it looks proper.
First the main menu
Secondly the menu drops, account details and reports
Finally the client name (looks half) which sits in the top middle of the main menu
The 170% and 11 font configuration works best, in my opinion, for the 12 inch tablet.
Windows, Office, Outlook, Skype, OneDrive, DropBox, Adobe Pro, One Note, IE, Chrome, FireFox, TeamViewer, all seem to not being affected.
I recommend to never change the default resolution 2160X1440.
In my opinion, the Surface Pro 3 is a great laptop/tablet currently in the market for price and features.
When I was doing the research, I was worried it would be too small to work.
It has proved to be great so far.
The Lenovo X1 (the thinnest/lightest ever 14 inch) is my all time favourite followed by the Yoga 3 (13 inch) but due to lack of an active digitiser, I chose the Surface 3.
