display downscale

[Ashleyyyy]

hello,

 

I have a laptop with a 1366x768 resolution, and I would like to know how I can force the resolution to 1080p.

 

I need this because sometimes I don't have enough space on my screen.

 

now, if I plug in an external 1080p display, and put it on duplicate displays at 1080p, then everything on my laptop screen looks a lot smaller, which is what I want.

 

however, if I remove the display there is no way of my laptop screen on its own to 1080p.

 

how do I do this?

 

in case it matters, I have an amd apu with the latest drivers.

1080p is larger than 768p

 

The second number is the number refereed to (4K is an exception)

 

1366x768P (768P)

1920x1080P (1080)

2560x1440P (1440)

3840x2160 (4K)

It doesnt work like that. You have a set amount of pixels on the screen, and you cant create more. You can try going to display settings and setting the resolution manually to 1080p, but i have no idea what the effect of this would be.

I know, but I want it to be set at 1080p, and then downscale automatically to 768p. I have a lot more screen space then.

 

it does that with an external display plugged in, I just want to know how to set it without a monitor plugged in.

Have Windows scale everything by 75%. Or have an NVIDIA GPU and enable DSR.

 

EDIT: Actually Windows won't let you scale below 100%, d'oh

that is not what I want. that only works in certain apps. I want the resolution to scale down system wide.

 

I just need a way of forcing a custom resolution I think...
