The changes in LogPixels were reset during a reboot or login, causing the value to revert to its original setting. The issue might be related to how Windows handles scaling after such system changes. Since custom resolutions aren't working due to display limitations, consider adjusting settings through built-in tools rather than external panels.
Windows requires a minimum display resolution of 96 dpi. It cannot accommodate lower settings. As you mentioned, increasing the resolution beyond what your monitor supports depends on your graphics card and the screen itself. For laptops, this is generally not possible. If your laptop offered a higher-resolution option, you might look for compatible panels from manufacturers, eBay, Amazon, or AliExpress and consider replacing it yourself. Be careful—using any generic laptop panel won’t work, as each model has unique specifications like thickness, screw placement, power delivery, and connector type.
Thanks for the quick response. That suggestion you mentioned is really clever. I'm currently searching for suitable panels for my laptop. My display has been disassembled, and the connector I have is an eDP 30-pin single lane. The screws are standard on most laptops. The issue is that a single lane eDP only supports resolutions up to 1600x900 at 30Hz or 1366x768 at 60Hz. For 1080p at either frame rate, I'd need a two-lane cable. Would it be okay if I upgrade to a dual-lane cable instead?
No problem, I haven't tried before. Thanks for letting me know.
