Windows 10: Make windows 10 bigger/smaller with click of a button for monitor viewing at a distance?

Is there a setting in windows 10, that can be tied to a macro or shortcut, that can make everything (desktop, icons, windows, text, etc.) bigger and can be toggled back to original settings with a click of a button/shortcut?

I just bought a really cool one handed pc remote that works pretty well for windows, but the distance from my bed to my computer monitor makes it pretty tough to see what I'm clicking on.

If not, is there some kind of third party software that can do this or something similar?

Viewing distance to a large monitor (over 20")?

I know I'm not answering your question, but maybe this can help.

What you want to know is the viewing angle that you're comfortable with (as garyinhere said it's all about your preference) in order to calculate your preferred distance to the monitor. You can use this website to get the viewing angle (use your current setup as reference):
Viewing Distance Calculator

I didn't bother to do the math but you need f(viewing angle)=distance which you can get out of this quick snapshot of the Java code on that page (this assumes a 16:9 monitor):
Code: //diag=diagonal size of monitor in inches //distance=distance to monitor in feet screenwidth=Math.sqrt((diag*diag) / 1.31640); screenwidthfeet= screenwidth/12; currentangle = 360 * (Math.atan(0.5 * screenwidthfeet / distance) / Math.PI);[/quote] For reference, I like my monitor viewing angle to be around 47.1 degrees (24" @ 2 feet). As for my Home Theater I'm much more comfortable with 25.6 degrees (50" @ 8 feet). I should mention that I didn't check any of the math...

EDIT1:
Solved for-
f(viewing angle) = distance
(0.5 * ( ( SQRT( Wd^2 / 1.3164 ) / 12 ) ) / TAN( ( A / 360 ) * Pi ) ) = distance
Where-
Wd = diagonal width of screen (inches)
A = viewing angle (degrees)
distance = distance of viewer to screen (feet)

I made an xls spreadsheet to automate this. Check out the attachment if you're interested.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Ideal Viewing Distance

What do you think guys is the ideal or optimal viewing distance for watching movies? My monitor is 23’’ ASUS MX239. Resolution is 1920x1080.

Is 1,5m too far?
