Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm running an application that can't
be resized by any means. The text drawn on the application is
too small so I tried to use the magnifier to make my screen
bigger but I've noticed that 200% zoom level gives you a
substantially clearer picture than 150%.  What is the reason for
this? Is there any way I can make my 150% zoom level more clear
(as 200% is an overkill)? If not, are there any other
alternatives I can freely zoom inside the screen without losing
too much clarity?  share|improve this question You mean by
interpolation? –  DragonLord Oct 2 '12 at 0:02  2 Answers 2  up
vote 4 down vote accepted  200% (2x) zoom allows for simple
pixel doubling, while 150% (1.5x) requires a more complex
rescale algorithm; there's really no way to change this. Another
application might do the resize to 150% in a different way that
produces a clearer result than what you're using now, but you're
always going to see a clearer result with an integral zoom
factor (2x or 3x vs. 1.5x or 2.5x).  Hop
