I have a Microsoft Surface. When I am working as a standalone without monitors, I set the screen to 1920 x 1280 but the text is a bit small so I go into Windows 10 settings (System->Display) and under "Scale and layout" I change the "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" to 125%.

When I go back to my desktop setup with multiple monitors, I have to manually go back into Windows 10 settings and set this back to 100%.

Could you add the ability to change scaling as a part of a Monitor Configuration profile? This way, I could have my single monitor profile to 1920 x 1280 with scaling of 125% but the desktop profile would be 1920 x 1280 with a scaling of 100%.

I hope this makes sense. I have attached a screenshot of the Windows 10 settings screen in case you do not understand what parameter I am changing.

Thank you,
Lloyd C

I second that request. In fact, it totally useful for anyone who uses 4k or 5k screens for different usage profiles (e.g. 4x 1080p with multiple apps (=scaling 1.0) vs. 1x 4k for hidpi website browsing (=scaling 1.5)). I'm actually kind of surprised that it's missing given the vast amount of functionality otherwise.

Hi Chris, I would also like to be able to save display scaling as part of monitor profiles - can you please add me to the update ticket to be notified if you're able to add this functionality? Thanks for your help.

I also need this feature. I use a 55" 4k screen as my external monitor with my laptop when I have it docked. To best utilize the screen real estate, I've split it into four monitors with DisplayFusion, with scaling set to 150% in Windows 10 display settings, and all works well while I'm sitting on my desk and working. However, when I move back a few feek away to my bed, I need to switch to a different profile that's a single monitor, along with changing the scaling to 300% from Windows 10 display settings in order to actually be able to see things on the screens from such distance. Having scaling options as part of DisplayFusion monitor profiles would mean I'd need to change only the DisplayFusion profile each time I need to make the switch, rather than having to change both the DisplayFusion profile AND windows scaling from display settings.

Same here. Please add Scaling to the Monitor Profile options.

Hi,

Add me to the list of supporters for this feature, please.

I would also like this!

yes please

Yes please!! Our whole company is using DisplayFusion and we got >50% UHD displays in place already. Not supporting scaling factor makes DisplayFusion more or less useless and we need to search alternatives soon...

Keith and DF devs, in my hunt to figure out why changing scaling would change some registry values, but changing those values did not change the scaling (until next login) I came across someone who was close to the answer. I fell out of contact for a bit, and soon afterward they had the problem licked it seems.
Have a look at his github repo and I believe you would finally be able to implement a per monitor scaling option into monitor configurations.

As much as I'd like to help more, I'm a C# dev... C++ is not in my wheelhouse.

I need this as well! I am holding back purchasing DF due to lacking this feature. Any progress to report?

Me too

Excellent news, I was just thinking about asking about this.

I too would be noted when this feature is ready to use. I have made a request for this about 1,5 year ago so if I'm not already on the list can you please add me to it again?

+1 for this feature!
Working on my laptop only, i set scale to 100 %, but when using it as a secondary screen when docked, I have to set it to 125 %.
Would indeed be very handy to swap this with monitor profiles, as I often need to do this multiple times a day

+1 for me too, please add this feature.

HI Keith, this was planned for 9.7.1, can you give some estimation on when to expect this?

Add me to the list, please. I hope 10.0 gets here soon.

Any updates on this please? Pretty please?

Same here I so want this feature.
My new M28U monitor requires 175% at 4K and 100% at 1080p and the windows 10 / 11 scaling is very dumbbbbbbb
Actually at 1080p it would look better if I could choose 80% scaling but windows doesn't allow for scaling below 100% (again, dumb)

A little over 3 years ago a small idea was born. It seemed simple: Allow monitor scaling to be a part of saved DisplayFusion profiles.

It has been a good journey. We have had several people come on board to support the idea. Several even seemed to have a few ways to build on the concept. A few times it looked like we were close. It might just happen!!! And then COVID hit and it became even more important as we had to work in our living rooms, bedrooms and, yes, even in the yard.

Tears were shed when the promises seem to come up empty. But I implore you to remember the laughter we had as well ("Whats the problem? its only 17 keystrokes to do it manually!!!").

As I begin to contemplate retirement in the coming new year, I may have to get off this bus and join another train going another direction. But I ask you all: Don't lose the faith!!! I am sure before the end of the millennium one of two things will happen: first, just maybe, just maybe, The Fortress will find a way to put the feature in one of the releases; but if not, Windows 11 will most certainly come along and make us all want to buy Macs where things like this are a part of the operating system.

I will probably be around for at least a few weeks. Feel free to drop me a note and say hello!!!

I recently bought Display Fusion, and I would like to add my plea to the cacophony of voices asking for the ability to save DPI scaling per monitor profile. And furthermore, the ability to save custom scaling per monitor with finer granularity than Windows 10 exposes would be extremely helpful.

In my case, I have a laptop that has a 15" 4K primary monitor plus a half-height secondary monitor built into the body of the laptop right above the keyboard.
The primary monitor is 3840 x 2160 and Windows 10 allows scaling up to 250%, which is pretty useful given the very high DPI at this resolution/size combo.

However, the secondary "half-monitor" is 3840 x 1100 and Windows 10 only allows up to 175% scaling on it. Some things are very difficult to read at this scale, plus it's really annoying to drag objects from one monitor to the other and have them be different size. It's making the secondary monitor less useful than the marketing suggested it would be.

I would love it if Display Fusion opened up the possibilities here, to get around Windows 10's seemingly arbitrary limitations.

EDIT: And that's not even to mention the two 1080P monitors I have hooked up to the laptop's dock.

This feature would be amazing
I regularly switch between 1440p and 4k since 1440 runs at 120hz and 4k runs at 60hz

I can't believe this was suggested four years ago, acknowledged as something that was already in the plans to be added to the application, but yet still isn't here. Disappointing.

+1 for this feature.

I travel a lot and constantly connecting to hotel/customer TVs via HDMI and windows seems to always want to set the scaling to what it thinks i want. I just purchased DisplayFusion and i am very surprised this feature is not already implemented.

FWIW, i'm using Windows 11 and the latest version as of this post (9.9)

Another plea for this feature!
I constantly change between 1440p-120hz and 4k-60hz and having to manually adjust scaling is driving me nuts.

You are 100% correct. However, at this stage I think "disappointing" is a massive understatement. This should have been a day 1 option. Anyone using multiple monitors (especially different sizes and resolutions) with various applications needs an option like this.

I genuinely love DF, but I feel like so much of it is over-engineered fringe options that most people don't / won't use. Meanwhile, options that we're begging for are either put on the back burner or simply never implemented.

I'm dumber than hell, I couldn't make a program half as good as DF even if I had a thousand years. Nevertheless, I still feel that DF could be streamlined and the highly sought-after options could be implemented without losing users. If there was a program comparable to DF with good basic options (like monitor scaling) and without the clutter, I'd at least give it a try.

Side note: When I swap monitor profiles, some scaling on my other monitor's DF taskbars are wonky; For instance, the time and date is huge and cut off. Force scaling each monitor on a profile could fix this issue. This is not the only reason I want monitor scaling, just that it's one of the issues caused by not having proper scaling / forced scaling.

why this is still not supported?
if display dusionsupport this,I would buy it immedematley!

Yes it's working great! Finally I can use it.

Thanks a lot fot this

The DPI setting appears to override the Windows DPI Scaling, which is a problem (for me) because I use custom scaling of 110% due to monitor size and resolution.

I have overriden in the DF registry and it seems to be working at 110%, though I think it would be beneficial to either turn of DF Scaling or allow custom percents.

When I installed the beta 18 the DF scaling was defaulted to 100% and it immediately overrode my monitor scaling to 100% moving windows and making everything smaller. Windows scaling still showed 110%. Changing DF scaling to 125% makes the display contents too large for me.

Thx.

Yay! Works great, thanks for this

Do we know when this will be added to the final release so Steam users see it too?

You are able to use the beta with the steam version.

DisplayFusion Settings > Options tab, you can enable "Check for new beta versions", and then press the "Check for updates now" button.

Hello,

I have a question about Display Fusion's (DF) Beta version. I was trying to use DF Beta to enable custom scaling for each of my monitors independently.

Originally, I had Windows 10 set up to scale both monitors at 115%. However, when I opened DF Monitor Configuration in this state, I couldn't find an option to adjust the DPI scaling within DF.

I then disabled the Windows 10 scaling. After doing this, DF allowed me to select DPI settings for each monitor separately. However, it only gave me predefined sizes (100%, 125%, 150%, 175%, etc.).

I'm looking to set one monitor to 115% and the other to, for example, 135%. But it appears that I am unable to do so. Is there a way to set custom DPI settings outside of the predefined sizes?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, or guide me on how to do this.

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. In Windows, we have the ability to set custom scaling, but it applies the same scaling to both monitors. If we choose predefined scaling, we can apply it independently to each monitor. In this case, what advantages does DisplayFusion Monitor Scaling offer over Windows' native scaling?
