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've been using my PixelbookGO for about a month now, and I have been really enjoying your videos. This tip is a great one, and I already adjusted while watching this video. Thanks. Keep up the great work.
I’ve been a subscriber for a while now. I normally Like all videos that I watch just to help the KZread 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!
It worked! I've been looking for a resolution like this for an hour
Wow, educational and timely! I've used Chromebooks for several years and didn't know about the CTRL-SHIFT trick. I just powerwashed my C434 and was diddling with screen resolutions when I saw this video. Timely! Thanks.
Great tip. I recently setup my new Asus Chromebox with my 65 inch TCL TV in my living room and discovered that you can adjust the resolution of the contents within the Chrome browser, AND adjust the resolution of the Chrome OS overall.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MY PRESENT SCREEN ON GOOGLE MEET DID NOT WORK BECAUSE OF HOW BIG MY TASK BAR WAS THANK U SO MUCH

Loving these videos, some have been super helpful. Also loving my Pixel Slate that I got for the killer deal with the keyboard and pen for $450.
Good tip! I'm always fiddling with those settings.
I'm getting spoiled by these Tip Tuesdays. Keep them coming, please!

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!!!!
Wow, that was just so easy and SO satisfying! I had a document to sign and there was no way I could see all the text and the boxes that needed ticking. They were tantalisingly out of reach ..grrrrr. But after your video they were forced to reveal themselves. Aha...gotcha. Thank you!
Thanks mate, done well!
thank you, you saved my chrome thank you very much
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO
Thank you ! So much
Thank you, it worked great!!!
Thank god you helped me because I was getting so angry with this computer but I actually need it cause of online school
Still trying to decide which version of the Pixelbook to get. Which model would you recommend? I don't do any coding or anything, but relatively heavy browsing and would like to stream some games eventually with Stadia or Steam from my desktop.
THANK YOU
Thank You 😊!!
Thanks man
@ChromeUnboxed , i cannot change my different desktops by four finger gesture. Can you make a latest video on how to do it? I have seen your precious video for it but that cause didn't work for me . Using HP chromebook x360 14.
Omg tysm my screen was really big and I didn’t know how to fix it
can you make a video on how to get motion blur for cursor on chromebook?
WoW thanks so much.
Wow thanks again
Brilliant thanks.
Great Video keeps it up.
Thanks so much
This doesnt change the actual resolution though, anyway to change/lower the actual resolution? I have the 2020 galaxy chromebook with 4k display.
Great video, man. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the Facebook app on Chromebook. It enlarges slightly, but I still have to strain the hell out of my eyes to read or type. Have you got any ideas on how I can improve the display for it?
thx you so much!!!!!
?? can you tell me any way to make my display any crisper like brightness and contrast?? I'm really new to computers in general now I have this Lenovo Chromebook and I'm lost!! Any help would be much appreciated!! Thanks
My new ASUS Chromebook C434 came this morning about an hour ago, I'm using it now. Is there a way to adjust the color settings? It seems to have too much yellow and not enough red. The night setting is not on. This is when watching youtube videos, I did several tests watching parts of professional youtube videos. Thank you
this works for the internet screen. But I was wondering, is there a way to do this for the actual screen (Wallpaper)?
Thanks so much!!!
Does changing this affect the battery life?
I love you for this
Soooo helpful. Literally almost broke my computer before viewing this video. Thanks 🙏
direct, time saving and to the point, keep it up
Just a question ,can you make a laptop use the chrome operating system and do away with windows
Hi I am dual booting chromeOS with windows, with some tool not to mention here. But all the android apps get a blur like feel, the more you zoom, the more it affects nice smooth look and things get blury and unpleasent. DO you face the same problem on original chromebooks?
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.
my cousin was using my school computer which is a chromebook and now i have to move my mouse to see the whole screen it just moves where the mouse goes and its also hard to click on stuff how do i fix this
I'm at 90% and still too big for my TV screen. I'm connected to my tv via hdmi cable and I have my display mirrored. When I exit mirror mode it allows me to shrink or expand the field size and crop what I want to see, but can't control mouse on tv screen.
You said that your screen was a certain resolution. Where did you go to find out that information? I can't figure that out! Please someone answer ASAP!
I tried changing my screen resolution on my CT 100 but after restart it goes back to its default settings. Every single time.
Can anyone help me with adjusting the screen to fit my TV? All my corners from chromebook are missing
is this scaling or reduction in pixel? I want to watch youtube at full resolution however dont want the page to be tiny, is there a work around?
What's the key shortcut on AZERTY keyboard ?
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.
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.
is there a way of getting dark theme on the gmail app on pixelgo
Great tip! Thank you for sharing.
Can you add widgets to home screen ??
Ohh Thank you so much my screen was so big I was barely able to see any thing

Why does Google set 'Settings' up completely differently in German than in English? We cannot take the learnings here from 'Chrome Unboxed' on our Chromebooks with German keyboards + German settings. They seem to be different ...
The screen is so big, including the curser, and the shift/ctrl will not reduce it, so I cant get to settings?
I like it a lot.

Getting back to 100% is easier with a keyboard shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + 0

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

Which editor u use?
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.
Oh my. Someone who know how to operate a chromebook. This chromebook of mine is going to go flying out the window soon if i cant get what i print to be the correct size. It printa way to small.. nothing like what i see on the screen. So frustrating. Can you help a desperate soul please???
but how to make it stay at the larger print?
I always learn something here 😉
omg thank you so much! i didnt knew what to do
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?
Do you feel like you've downgraded from your pixelbook now that you have the pixelbook go?
yo its realy hard to do can you send me a oicture if you can plzz?
tyyyyyy
my disco light is on somehow i need to change itplss

One important thing to note: if you are watching full screen video at anything other than the native resolution of your display, you are essentially throwing pixels away. For example, if you have a 1080p screen and use a lower resolution setting, KZread will deliver the 720p version of the video and your Chromebook will scale it back up, providing a suboptimal experience.

Doesn't he realize the difference between "scaling" and higher screen resolution?
mine is so blurry
this isn't actualy changing the screen resolution, it's scaling the window contents.
Tbh i accidently zoom my screen that why im here right now😅😅
Skip to 2:10 for actual content
ctrl+shift+0 get you to 100%
Hmm I sure do hope it wasn't the water I spilled
what a long ass intro but THANKS!
this doesnt work
Fucking G. love it
