How to handle UI scaling issue in Acer r7 372T. WIndow 10

rubal

Hi, I'm a graphic/web designer.
and bought the laptop last month.
I always preffer dell , because last one i used is still running after 10 years and no complaint(just hang bcoz of 2gb ram).
But this time i want a touch enabled,active pen, ssd, laptop. to draw and to save time
So i consider acer instead of dell, because they provide active pen.
I love this laptop actually in starting of few days.
but then all the software photoshop, illustrator and all of them are not UI compatible.
EITHER they are too large for work or too small to read.
I used manifiest code to change the scaling of software from 100 to 150% . which solved my purpose but not completely, the text is now blurry and brush is not too the point .

another problem i encountered is the active pen is just a regualar pen..
YOu need to install wacom drivers and have to know how to enable touch senstivity  in able to use pressures.
The pressure of the pen is not like wacom levels , so you have to play with brush settings.

Only thing i loved about the laptop is battery life (approx 8 hour with battery saver)  design, keypad lights and booting time.


I rarely use touch screen, the 13.3 inch screen is not designer friendly .
 i need to find an external display , but still confuse about UI scaling
Please help and suggest some budget friendly displays.

Thanks

Here's one: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/acer-monitor-umvg7aa001

-It has a good normal resolution of 1920x1080, HD, nice and big, and mostly industry standard.

-You only have HDMI, so there you go. 

-User review says it is glossy.

-WARNING: RESOLUTION SCALING will work on your graphics card, HOWEVER, may reduce peformance in some way during gaming or other high graphical tasks. Drawing/Web browsing/Movie Playing/Etc will work fine/normally.

Thankyou for the quick reply,
Can you help me  adjust UI scaling for photoshop between 125% or 150% ? for laptop screen.
photoshop only support 100% and 200% scaling.

If we tried to change the manifest file (which is easily find by searching photohsop manifiest on google) 
the brush is not accurate. 

FOr example  i use and set the brush at  30px , the result turn out to be 40 px .
