Windows 10: Change screen scale and layout

Hello, I bought a new 4K 55' monitor (tv) and I think it would be OK with a setting scale/layout below 100%, at least I would like to try. I read somewhere I don't remember that there is a way to do this changing something in the registry. Do someone have more information about that? OS is Windows 10 Home 20H2 version compilation 19042.685. Thanks a lot. Luis.

Scale & Layout

Hi,

Your question does not contain all the required information needed for us to help you. For us to better assist you, we'd like to ask the following information:

• Which Windows version and build are you using? Type winver in the search bar and press
  Enter to find out.
• Are you having issues changing with the scale and layout setting or you intend to change it?
• Are getting any error messages?

Meanwhile, most of the advanced display settings from previous versions of Windows are now available on the Display settings page.

• Select Start and select Settings >System>Display.
• If you want to change the size of your text and apps, use the dropdown menu under
  Scale and layout. In Windows 10, you can no longer change the text size of a specific item.
• To change your screen resolution, use the drop down menu under Resolution.
• To adjust your color calibration, search "calibrate display color" in the search box of Settings and follow the directions.
  
• If you don't see a setting you're looking for, try searching for it in the search box on the taskbar.
  

Let us know if you need further assistance.
