Change screen scale and layout
Hello, I bought a new 4K 55' monitor (tv) and I think it would be OK with a setting scale/layout below 100%, at least I would like to try. I read somewhere I don't remember that there is a way to do this changing something in the registry. Do someone have more information about that? OS is Windows 10 Home 20H2 version compilation 19042.685. Thanks a lot. Luis.My Computer

@laqaOption Three, here... Change DPI Scaling Level for Displays in Windows 10
Default value for LogPixels is 96 pixels per inch, which is 100%. Anything lower than 96 will be less than 100%.
You may have to reboot after changing the setting.All these settings seem to be .8x the one above.
So for 75% you'd set LogPixels at 77.
For 50% you'd set LogPixels at 62.Roughly.

I created it with a value of 96, and left Win8DpiScaling with 0 value. To lower the display scale to 75% should I change LogPixels to 77 and set Win8DpiScaling to 1? Thanks again.
Yeah. If you set LogPixels to anything "other" than the default of 96, then you have to set Win8DpiScaling to 1
Note: You don't HAVE to use 77. I was just curious what 75% would be. You can set it to ANY number lower than 96.
I just figured out what 75% would be to give you an idea.For example... 86 would be approx. 90%
