Image comparison failing on different monitors

[dineshk-qa]

I have captured some screen shots for desktop, mobile and tab on a particular resolution for each device. When I execute image validation tests, they work fine on my big 2nd monitor screen (the same I used to get the expected images) but when I execute the same set of tests on my laptop they fail stating a massive difference with actual and expected screens/images. Ideally they should pass because the resolution is same. What could be the reason for this?

• Tell about your environment:
  • java version
  • galen version
  • used browser and version
• Describe your issue
  • describe your steps leading to the issue (especially how you Galen)
  • attach error logs or screenshots
  • if possible provide test case or screenshots

I have the same issue. I took the "expected" screenshots on my second monitor but when the tests run on my retina display they fail. If you look carefully at the attached screenshots you can see the text anti-aliasing is different between expected and actual. There is also a slight vertical shift in pixels

@dinesh-domain, I solved the problem on my windows 10 laptop with setting the display scaling to 100% instead of the default 125%
