Custom scale for different monitors

I use one monitor at the office and one monitor at home. They are both 4k. I used to have one at 150% scale and the other one at 175% scale. It works. However, I feel the 175% is a bit too large and changed it to be a custom scale---155%. Now I find both of the two monitors are at 155%, which I don't want.

Is there a way to set different custom display scale for each monitor? Thank you.

Hi. This may be helpful. Have a read through.

Hi, thanks for the replies. I should've mentioned that I'm talking about using the same laptop and connect it to different monitors.

This doesn't work. It seems that Windows only differentiate different screens if you use the standard scales, whereas if you set a custom scale, then any screens (laptop screen and any external monitors' screens) will have to share the same scale... I'm wondering if there's ways to get around this.

My laptop has an Nvidia GPU, but I think normally it uses the Intel internal GPU to render the desktop. So, I downloaded the Intel Graphics Command Center, but whenever I open that app, the screen on my laptop (not the monitor) starts doing weird things---lines, particles with different colors appear and jump around, lol.

Did you look at the tutorial Brink posted above?

Probably should have, yes.

I can’t help with that sorry. Most likely achievable with 3rd Party Software. Something like the following. You’d have to check and look around.
