    How to shrink screen to my monitor size?


    Hi, I've recently purchased HP Spectre 360 14T Laptop and using UGREEN USB-C Adaptor to connect my HP Z30i LCD with it. After connecting it, the display is not shrinking to fit the screen. Even there's no option on the LCD controls to shrink the screen and I've also tried to play with the resolution and scaling in windows display properties. But I am still not able to fit the display according to the screen size. The display is misaligned about 0.5 inches from each sides. Kindly guide me what should I do?

    :)

    Screen Font Sizes Shrinking on Higher Resolution Monitors

    I just posted a question regarding screen font sizes shrinking on higher resolution monitors. Many of us who are buying larger monitors are doing it because of the shrinking font sizes. Unfortunately, it appears that someone in the corporate offices of
    software vendors think we want to see more things on our screens when we are only trying to increase the sizes of objects and text back to what they were on our old monitor.

    I realize that there is the ability to increase screen font sizes by changing the screen resolution, changing default font settings and using zoom features or magnifiers. Unfortunately, these methods more often than not have detrimental effects — image cropping,
    applications that do not permit setting changes or applications like Microsoft Outlook 2016 that allows changes in some features but not others or allows changes by individual folder but not global.

    When I contact technical support they always ignore the cause of the problem and try to come up with one of the answers I list above. When I post a question here I get answers like, "I don't have your problem." I really wonder why they even respond.

    What can we do to get software vendors to listen?

  3. Screen shrinks temporarily

    Hi Juan,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.



    To understand the issue better, please provide us more information.


    • What do you mean when you say ‘’I click on the screen or link’’? Please elaborate.

    • When you say ’’it temporarily shrinks’’ do you mean the size of the screen is decreasing g or the font and text?

    • What is the make and model of the computer and extended display monitor?

    • When you say ‘’ it temporarily shrinks for a few seconds’’ does it happen on the desktop or extended display monitor?
    Awaiting your response for further assistance.

    How to shrink screen to my monitor size?

    Poll: Desktop Screen Size

    This goes along with my Desktop Screen Res poll. A lot of people have been posting their monitor size in addition to voting in the poll, but I wanted to make an actual poll to put the screen size votes in a more easily readable format.

    This is for desktop systems, not laptops. I've tried to include all screen sizes that people are likely to have; if yours is not listed, round up. If you have multiple, different-sized screens, check all that apply. I've also listed projectors as an option.

    I didn't list individual sizes over 32" as these are typically not intended as PC monitors; just select "Larger."
