Windows 10: What's the best scaling option for a 15.6 inch 1080p screen?

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%

 

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.

 

1080p Not An Option in Display Settings

I have a laptop with a 4k display but because of all the pixels being rendered, it causes my battery life to be pretty bad. I want to scale down my laptop display to 1080p since 1080p is exactly 4 times fewer pixels than 4k and therefore looks the most natural.
But for some reason 1080p, which is the most logical way to scale down a 4k screen, is not available as a resolution in windows settings. Can anyone explain why this is and how to fix it.
