I have to scale 1080p to 130ish to keep it readable at 14", and I've found a lot of my clients get mileage out of the scaling due to similarly (though usually to a worse degree) poor vision.

As usual, you da man, Merc! Thanks a mil! I'm trying Small icons and 100% scaling. Will probably get used to this.
You know, I've searched on Google massively the last few days for various issues. It's amazing how much ignorance and crap there is out there. For the icon size issue, the only solution I found was the scaling adjustment. And here, bingo, you nailed it.
I don't work on PCs as much as I used to, and have forgotten a ton of stuff.

I massively regret having a 4k 15" screen on my current laptop so believe me, I understand.

Doesn't the scale go up in steps of 25 starting at 100? How are you setting it at 130? Unless it works differently on laptops.
BTW, Can't remember: who was Hawkeye in SF? The guy who used to scale it down and use tiny fonts on his screen?

Sounds like dd.
You can set custom scaling if you want. It's a better idea than using nonstandard screen resolutions.

See, I used to scale DPI lower so I could fit more on a screen, but this was like… fitting 1920x1200 into a 19 inch 1440x900 screen, nothing crazy. This was of course before my vision went completely to shit.
mubs, Windows supports setting an arbirtrary percentage for scaling now, and has at least for a couple years. Surface devices have such high DPI screens they come out of the box at 300% now. Windows will throw up a scare screen and say arbitrary percentages might break for some older applications, but in my experience it’s been fine. And you can override scaling application by application as needed.
