Surface Pro 3 Help


Recommended Posts

So i have now a SP3 from work, got dual montiors though daisy chain working. But the only thing i have is scaling. When i undock its a small view and need to increase the scaling. But when i dock it back my montiors are over scaled. Is there a way to tell the SP3 to use scaling in tablet mode and no scalling in docked mode.

nope.   welcome to using a surface with its HD screen and high resolution.

Indeed, I'm starting to hate my SP2 more and more. It's a decent piece of hardware (minus the crap type cover keyboard), but the software in regards to the display/scaling makes for a miserable experience. Either leave it docked or undocked. I use mine to RDP into other servers/computers at work.

If they do fix it, it won't be exclusively for the SP3. Scaling in Windows would need to change fundamentally.

scaling has lond being a problem for Windows.    FFS,  i got top of the range 13" ultrabook that i love, but it has super hi res, and i cannot read anything comfortably.

i got it for my dad, so i assume he is not able to read ANYTHING, if i cannot read anything comfortably.

 

 

so i play with settings, and get it to work ok, but it is so inconsistent it is a nightmare.

 

 

 

 

i always though that windows were the one that worked at any res, while macs sucked at scaling, but now, as we reach higher res, i see that long term, mac does better with it.

 

 

 

praying Win 10 will fix it, and make 13"  QHD displays look normal again.
