Forcing Resolution

[Cash091]

My monitor recently crapped out on me and I am forced to use my PC on my 40in tv which is 1080p. My 22in monitor was also 1080p and looked great, but now on the tv everything is so big its almost unbearable*. I was tinkering around in the nVidia control panel and noticed that I can force a 2560x1600 rez on my tv. Now I am smart enough to know that the image I am seeing is still 1080p but I get TONS more desktop space and things dont look too bad, a little blurry with really small text like the top top part of this page, but bearable. The thing is, I don't want to ruin my screen by forcing a resolution that it can't support or wasnt made to support. Having two broken screens would NOT fit into my budget and my wife wqould kill me!!! 🙂 If anyone has anything helpful it would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Why don't you just change the DPI scaling?
