I have an Asus laptop with a 1366x768 screen. I'm finding I would like to have everything smaller so I would have more room to work. Is there a way to get the graphics card to display 1080p and then downscale it to fit the screen, thus making everything smaller?

I'm running Windows 7 Professional and my graphics card can handle up to 2560x1600.

    Yes, and if you actually do that, everything will look like crap. I suggest you try adjusting font sizes. Ctrl+(plus/minus) is an often used keyboard shortcut within various applications for adjusting font sizes. You may also want to adjust these sizes on a system-wide level. What OS are you using? – James T Snell Sep 21 '11 at 23:54

    The card will not display the 2560X1600 on the built in display. That is likley max on external monitor. @Doc has a good suggestion – Dave M Sep 22 '11 at 00:06

  • @Qwerty: How what? To change system font scale for Windows 10? It's in the Ease of Use settings, under Display. Here's a doc on it: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028566/windows-10-change-the-size-of-text – James T Snell Apr 22 '20 at 18:01
  • @JamesTSnell To use larger than hw supported desktop resolution with downscaling to the supported one, so that everything is smaller, not only just text. – Qwerty Apr 23 '20 at 08:22
