Quick Answer: What Is Windows 10 Display Scaling?

The Windows 10 display scaling system adjusts the size of text, icons, and navigation elements to make a computer easier for people to see and use. You can adjust the display scaling for your Windows 10 device, as well as for any external displays.
Why is Windows display scaling so bad?
Some third-party desktop applications will have blurry fonts and look bad when you enable DPI scaling. This is because Windows is just blowing them up to appear larger—it’s like if you zoomed into an image. The image would appear larger and more readable, but blurrier.
Does Windows 10 scaling affect performance?
Display Scaling should not effect system performance. Display Scaling is at the mercy of each software to support. If they don’t and Windows can’t inject things to scale an app (for apps using Microsoft framework), the app will be blurry (like an image you zoom in and add smoothing effect to reduce jaggies).
