    Custom scaling for low resolution screens


    Is there anyway to adjust window/text/icon scaling in Windows 10? I'm looking to buy a laptop that has a 1080p display (like most within the price range) and I just know the size of the windows and text and everything won't give me enough "real estate" so to speak, and everything will feel too big.

    Are there ways to set the scaling below 100%? I find the toolbars and windows in Windows 10 just too big.

    Hope somebody here is able to help! Thank you Custom scaling for low resolution screens :)

    Screen resolution scaling

    Hi.

    As both Windows and Linux user, I've been using screen scaling on Linux to be able to force (emulate?) a 1920x1080 resolution on my 1366x768 screen with the following command:

    xrandr --output LVDS --panning 1920x1080 --scale 1.406x1.406

    The 1080p output, as it seems, is done via GPU - as I don't see any impact performance on my computer. I can confirm that I have a 1080p resolution because even the screenshots are 1920x1080.

    So, is there any way to do the same thing, but on Windows? By the way, my screen's max resolution is 1366x768. I don't want to scale just some elements (text, icons) to make it look like a 1080p resolution. I want a 'real' 1080p
    resolution.

    Cheers.
