    Does scaling reduce resolution?


    i have a 27inch 1440p monitor. the texts are really small. so i put the scaling from 100% to 125%. but now things look more blurry. Is the resolution no longer 1440p?

    also, since expanding to 125%, my mouse is not as responsive as before. i think it has probelms registering some clicks, maybe something to do with pixel alignment due to the enlarged interface?

    Resolution & DPI scaling on 32inch monitor

    Samsung LC32F397FWNXZA 32"
    resolution 1920 x 1080

    graphics card:

    GeForce GTX 1050 (2GB)

    Maximum Digital Resolution 7680x4320@60Hz2

    Would this suggest that it is the monitor that is the limiting factor?

    I'd like to just make the apps smaller but unable to scale below 100% or adjust the DPI below the default.

    Does scaling reduce resolution?

    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.
