• M133W is shipped with display scaling set at Larger - 150%. We recommend the users set the scaling
to this setting for optimal text and image viewing.

Note

• Before proceeding to change the scaling option, make sure any opened document is saved and close,
and all running applications are closed before proceeding to change the display scaling, because this
procedure requires users to log out of their account to apply display scaling change.

4.16 Configuring High Resolution Screen Scaling and Setting

The M133W’s 1920 x 1080 high resolution display is perfect for viewing image, video, or other applications, however,
Windows user interface (icons, buttons, and other user interface elements) may be too small to read and operate at
the default Windows settings. By changing the display scaling or the display resolution setting of the device, you can
adjust the size of the text and other items on the desktop for optimal viewing. Display scaling is the recommended
method because it has the effect of adjusting user interface element without having to move away from the optimal
resolution setting at 1920 x 1080. This section will explain how you can adjust the built-in windows display scaling
setting and resolution setting.
