Increase display resolution beyond native?


Hello all,

I have a HP laptop of which the monitor's native resolution is 1366*768, and I was wondering if it was possible to display things at a resolution beyond that using software trickery. I know I will lose clarity, but I just want to see what it would be like.

This is not for gaming, I would just like a little more screen space for productivity. The laptop is running Windows 8 and has a AMD Raedon 5650M running the 13.6 Beta Catalyst version.

Thanks!

 

EDIT: In case it wasn't clear, I am aware that you can't simply add more pixels. What I meant was is it possible to make a monitor seem like is is displaying at 1080p, when it is actually a 1366*768 monitor.

The native resolution is telling you how much pixels your display has. Pixels are a physical thing, you can't just add more.

I know. What I meant was, decrease DPI beyond what windows allows. Something like this http://superuser.com/questions/80151/how-to-setup-custom-dpi-below-100-on-windows-7?
