  2. Custom Display Scaling on Multiple Monitors w/ Dock

    Hello,

    I've encountered the world's most infuriating problem for which I do not believe there is a solution. I recently purchased an HP ZBook 14u w/ it's associated thunderbolt dock. I have two 24" 4K displays connected to the dock. For the monitors, under scale
    and layout I've set scaling to 225% (which IS listed under available pre-set scaling options) and they look fantastic. For the laptop screen however, the recommended setting is 300% (too big) with the setting below that being 250% (too small). Setting a custom
    scale of 275% is perfect. The problem is, if I set custom scaling on the laptop screen, and then plug it into the dock, it carries over to the two monitors (changing them to 275%) making them too big. It seems there is no way to set custom scaling for an individual
    display. It also seems that there is no way to add a certain scale percentage (in this case 275%) to the list of available options within the settings on the laptop screen without setting a custom number.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Are there any drivers, registry tweaks or custom apps that can allow me to set custom scaling for an individual screen and not have it carry over to all the displays when I connect the laptop to the dock?

  3. Custom scaling on multiple displays

    I work with a 3 monitor configuration. I have an Asus Zenbook Pro Duo with 2 screens:

    - Primary screen: 3840x2160p 15.6 inch

    - Secondary screen: 3840x1100p, it has the same physical width than the primary but half the height

    Plus, an external monitor (3rd screen): Viewsonic 1920x1080p 22 inch

    Windows scales each monitor by defaut, which is a perfect fit for the primary and the external monitor (250% and 100% respectively). But the available scale options for the secondary 3840x1100p monitor are all too small. Windows let me scale this 2nd screen
    up to 175%, but as it has the same width than the primary 4k screen, it should be scaled to 250% to mach the size of text and apps.

    Custom scaling aplies a factor to all screens equally, so if I set a custom setting of 250%, the 3rd 1080p screen becomes useless.

    Is there a way to set this scale configuration?:

    Primary - 250% (recommended by default)

    Secondary - 250% (not allowed in standard drop menu)

    External - 100%
