[ GLOSSARY DEFINITION ] Display

display scaling

Enlarging interface elements so text and controls stay legible at high pixel densities.

Full Definition & Technical Explanation

Display scaling renders the user interface larger so it remains readable on high-density screens, rather than drawing everything at native pixel size. It balances sharpness against how much content fits on screen.

See resolution scaling.
