In this case, the upper resolution limit of the monitor [VGA1] is 1024x768 (4:3). The screen is scaled down by 25% [--scale 1.25x1.25].

For use with monitors that have archaic max resolutions.— oioiiooixiii (@oioiiooixiii) January 19, 2016
To return the screen to default settings, the following alias is used:
