### Display scaling
Display scaling beyond 100% requires a proportionately higher resolution to fit the higher density interface graphics in the same physical space. For example, HandBrake will fit within the bounds of a 1920x1080 (FHD) resolution display at 100% and 125% scaling, but not at 150% and higher.
The following is a list of common display scales and corresponding standard resolutions that meet HandBrake’s requirements. Higher resolutions may also be used.
| Scaling | Minimum Height | 4:3 Aspect | 16:10 Wide Aspect | 16:9 Wide Aspect | 21:9 Ultrawide Aspect |

HandBrake will fit within any display resolution, 4:3 aspect ratio or wider, meeting or exceeding the minimum height for the associated scaling amount. If your display resolution meets or exceeds the minimum and HandBrake does not fit within its bounds, you will need to reduce your display scaling.
