I recently got a Surface Pro 3 for work. I have it connected with two external monitors and and using the Surface in the dock as a third monitor.
The monitors are set for 1920x1080 and text is scaled at 100%. If I try to use max resolution (2160x1440) on the Surface, everything comes out much too small. In order to compensate, the Surface is set for 1280x800.
When I undock the surface and take it with me, the resolution automatically changes to 2160x1440 and the text remains scaled at 100%. Unfortunately, this makes it near impossible to use, and requires me to manually change the settings each time I undock the computer, and to change them back each time I redock.
It is cumbersome to change the setting each time I pull the Surface from the dock and defeats the purpose of it being a mobile device. There has to be a better way. Any suggestions? Thanks!
How do you change the scaling on the Surface only? In the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" menu, it will only let me scale text for all screens at once. It's an all or nothing proposition. – hbcobra – 2015-06-25T14:28:59.683
