Surface Laptop 3 with more 3:2 aspect ratio resolutions

We previously posted a guide on how to set custom resolutions on Microsoft Surface since Microsoft didn't offering any iii:2 brandish ratio resolutions other than the native resolution of the display. All the same, with recent Windows and Surface updates, my Surface Laptop 3 now has more 3:ii display ratio resolutions I can set without any tools or tweaks.

What are the new 3:2 Resolutions on Surface Laptop 3?

From what I tested, here are the resolutions that properly designed to fully cover the Surface Laptop 3 display:

  1. 2256 x 1504 (Native Resolution)

    Ideally for watching movies, browsing the web, and graphics design.

  2. 1692 ten 1128

    Ideally for more screen real estate and multitasking with 100% brandish scaling.

  3. 1620 x 1080 (1080p)

    Ideally for pairing with 1080p external monitor.

  4. 1128 x 752

    Ideally for maximizing gaming operation with a minimum screen resolution while taking reward of the total 3:2 attribute ratio display.

All the above resolutions have the same 1.5 results when you divide the number of horizontal pixels by the number of vertical pixels. They are perfectly cover your Surface Laptop three brandish without letterboxing.
