    As the Chromebook market has evolved, the number of new screen sizes, resolutions, and aspect ratios has only increased. At this point, there are Chrome OS devices anywhere from 10-inches up to 15.6-inches, 720p to 4K, and everything in between. And that’s to say nothing of extended displays and Chromeboxes outputting to a vast variety of external monitors.
    With all these variations in place at this point, Chrome OS requires the ability to actively scale the entire interface to work on different displays. Thankfully it does this quite well, and there's a quick way to change the setting as you see fit.

    I already tried that and all it does is shrink the print on the page: it doesn't adjust the screen to fit the window. Chromebooks are just the worst. I thought it was just going to be a bit of relearning and adjusting. I'm no technophobe: hell, I usually enjoy getting my computer geek on. But this is just rubbish. I can't do documents unless I use the cloud; which makes everything I write public domain, so don't type up any stories you're hoping to publish, and I wouldn't type up any business accounts either. Plus it's open to attack from hackers. OK, thinks I,just improvise and use this for emails and watching Amazon, BBC iplayer or whatever. But no, trying to get the screen to fit is like I'm demanding the World! I can't put on an adblocker on RUclips. I can't get this type to spell-check. There is an additional keyboard on the right of my screen as I write; that I don't need, and can't get rid of. I'm even struggling to move the screen down so that I can click the comment button. - This is not impatience: Chromebooks are an expensive waste of money. Stick to laptops.

    Getting back to 100% is easier with a keyboard shortcut

    Actually tab zooming using CTRL + "+" acts completely different than pinch-to-zoom.

    I’ve been a subscriber for a while now. I normally Like all videos that I watch just to help the RUclips algorithm to give the channels I watch the exposure I think the deserve.
    However I rarely read or leave comments. I just don’t have the time or screen real estate on my phone (which is where I watch most of my videos).
    But I must say... I’m really enjoying this Tuesday Tip series. I hope it is/becomes a permanent part of the rotation.
    And please keep making great videos about Chrome OS

    This is really handy! I run into this problem every time I need to remote into my windows desktop displaying at 1080p. With the chromebook at a lower resolution, It would cut off the edges and I'd have to scroll.
    Loving the hp chromebook x360 14 btw. thanks for the recommendation!

  • @chrishalle1982
    @chrishalle1982 4 года назад +2

    Is this really a screen resolution change? When you change the resolution on a monitor to a lower resolution the picture get blurry more and more as lower the resolution gets. But on the chromebook screen its crystal sharp no matter what resolution you change it to. So i guess its just a scale not a resolution change.

    This was helpful. I am 74 and need all the brightness I can get. I put the brightness on the highness said never to the night screen. The screen has a pale/dullness. I'm not sure how to search this to fix the problem. The Chromebook is an Acer. I just bought it. I use two Chromebooks at a time. I don't have this promble with my HP.

    My Chromebook screen is awful. It comes with the opaque non glare screen that washes out all the colors. Can I switch this screen / glass out with gorilla glass ? I can't use my computer the way it is now. Finding the right angle is like a space shuttle launch.

    HEY THANKS GUYS!!! SOMETIMES I USE A TEN POINT ONE INCH RCA ANDROID TABLET AND I HAVE SOME APPS THAT I HAVE PINCH TO ZOOM. I WATCHED THIS VIDEO AND DECIDED TO TRY THIS SHORTCUT WITH THIS ANDROID TABLET SINCE I ALWAYS USE THIS TABLET WITH A USB DONGLE!!! I HAVE A KEYBOARD AND MOUSE ATTACHED TO THE DONGLE WHICH ELIMINATES USING THE TOUCH SCREEN MOST OF THE TIME!!! I TRIED THIS SHORTCUT TO ZOOM IN ON SOME VERY SMALL TEXT IN ONE OF THE APPS THAT I USE EVERY DAY!! THIS SHORTCUT WORKED PERFECTLY AND I KNOW THAT WILL BE A TIMESAVER!!! I USE THIS DEVICE FOR WATCHING CONTENT AND TAKING NOTES ON GOOGLE DOCS!! I ALSO HAVE A FIFTEEN POINT SIX INCH CHROMEBOOK WHICH I ALSO USE EVERY DAY. YOUR CHANNEL HAS BEEN A GOD-SEND FOR GETTING INFORMATION ABOUT CHROMEBOOKS AND HOW TO USE THEM!!! I AM A RETIRED PERSON AND CHROME UNBOXED IS BY FAR THE BEST CHANNEL FOR CHROMEBOOKS. I WATCH THESE TUESDAY TIPS EVERY WEEK AND I LEARN SOMETHING EVERY TIME!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, AND HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR , SINCERELY, MICHAEL!!!!

    CTRL + SHIFT + '-' to get a smaller screen resolution is working on English keyboards. CTRL + SHIFT + '+' to get a larger screen resolution does not work on a Swiss German keyboard. What to do now? Google even writes wrongly that the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + '+' would do that job in its official shortcuts list in German. How come?

    I accidentally hit something because my screen is so large, I have to scroll left to right to see everything. Hitting settings, display, etc. just changes the size of the lettering. and images. I still have to scroll left-right, nor do the short cuts address my problem. How do I restore my screen to its original display size so everything is on one screen? Thanks.

    I mean sure that's one way.... I've always been a fan of just increasing the various font sizes and even changing fonts (which you can also easily do in Chrome) and leaving everything else alone. But that's just me. My thinking is I just want to be able to read something clearly...if it's imbedded video or whatever it doesn't really make a difference because how big does someone need a play button? And you can adjust the screen size anyways manually if need be. That way things like video playback are at native and the best quality your given monitor can provide.
