    Every time I set a VM the screen is way too small. Either I get a large screen and bad resolution or small screen with decent resolution.
    Tried to change it in both Windows and Parallels configuration. I'm fed up with playing around with the settings.

    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

    Hi Wonjun,
    Please follow the steps provided in the knowledge base article http://kb.parallels.com/en/119926
    It would help you to change the screen resolution for Windows.
    Thanks,
    Padman

    Hi Wonjun,
    Please try to change the settings as, Open Virtual Machine Configure (refer http://kb.parallels.com/117287) >> Hardware >> Video >> Changed it to Scaled and now check how it works.

    You can't do anything with bad resolution but for you can protect your screen from making small..

    Actually I've been playing around between Best for Retina and scaled. I also tried to solve with Screen Resolution settings in Windows itself.
