    Resolution and scaling for 15.6in Monitor


    What scaling I should use for 4K display 3840 x 2160 on laptop with a 15.6in screen. I have tried 300% but the menu in lightroom and photoshop are too small to be readable.

    :)

    Visual Studio 2013

    Thank you Ramesh,

    Updating the driver was helpful, made it better but did not solve the problem.

    Upon working with this more, with my high resolution monitor on my laptop, I have discovered that it is a scaling issue. I have found a solution that works but is not optimal.

    If I reduce the resolution on the monitor and set the scaling to 100% the VS2013 forms display correctly in the designer window. Anything other than 100% scaling distorts the form in the designer window.

    If I have the monitor resolution set to it's recommended resolution, this makes things unworkably small.

    This is only an issue in VS2013 and no other program.

    The recommended settings for my display are 2560 X 1440 resolution with 200% scaling.

    Does anyone have a solution for this to be able to use the optimal resolution in VS2013?

    Screen display

    Is this a standalone monitor? If so, you either need to adjust the screen orientation using the physical monitor controls or adjust your scale/layout and screen resolutions.

    Open Start > Settings > System > Display > click in the display listbox and change the scale/layout and resolution to recommended settings.

    Resolution and scaling for 15.6in Monitor

    That's a resolution for projectors and 50" TVs, no wander everything so small. Any other, smaller resolution would depend on state of your sight but 1920 by whatever your screen ratio is with 150% would be a good starting point.

    Which means I can't use the full 4K display ? Can I set it to change to 4K when playing 4K video in VLC or any other media player ? or for viewig pics in 4k ?

    Check your laptop's manual or with it's manufacturer, some have a way of switching resolutions on the fly and/or conditionally just for cases like that. I think that VLC would display in whatever format a video is made for no matter which native resolution is.
