Do graphics within Internet Explorer on your new high DPI monitor have the jaggies?

Does your new Dell high resolution LCD display graphics within Internet Explorer that look like this?

Your computer manufacturer has enabled a setting within IE that attempts to scale graphics to their original intended size by correcting for your wide aspect or high resolution display. You can turn it off with the following registry hack. Graphics will now appear smaller but clean.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"UseHR"=dword:00000000
