I like how works with Mojave or Windows 10 and the screen with 1080p. How can I see the scale?

If you noticed, Windows does make thing look bigger due to the fact that the display is considered smaller and 1080p things look very small in normal conditions, so it either scales the display to 150% DPI or to 125% like this:

But on macOS im not sure if scaling applies out of the box and things should look small on 1080p 12.5 inch.
What are your thoughts ?

- My Laptop X240 ( I5 4300U, RaM 8G, HD screen 1366x768, touch screen ), 150€ is good price.
- Pin > 4.5h after 3 years of use. New > 6h
- Using Mac os 10.14.5 according to your instructions https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-lenovo-thinkpad-x240.245583/page-3.
- If there is HiDPI for HD 1366x768 screen, I like.
Hope you support X240 soon on Macos Mojave and MacOS Catalina performance and code cleanup
Thanks.

The one that i plan to buy is 150€ and it's brand new never used with 1 year warranty
4GB Ram, i5 4300U, 128GB SSD, Non touch 1366x768 display, Backlight Keyboard, fingerprint reader.
I do plan to upgrade to 8GB Ram, Touch or non touch 1080P display, NGFF SSD and 500 GB 2.5" SSD so i have dual boot on separate SSDs and the Trackpad but i do want to find a genuine one so it works well on Windows as well as the one i have on L440 does need a specific old driver to have left and right click buttons to work.

The X240 is primarily manufactured in lenovo USA, and I am currently using it very well on both dualboot Windows and Mac instructions of your.
The Lenovo device driver section is updated regularly.
With my needs, the X240 is good enough to use
Thanks.

I don't know, today i purchased the Lenovo ThinkPad X240.
I was lucky with my purchase, for that 150 Euro i got the 1366x768 IPS model instead of the trash TFT base model
I also got the big battery, the 4G LTE card and it's brand new never used, a very fast 128GB Samsung SSD (537 read and 398 write speeds).

Unfortunately my CH341A or SOIC8 Test Clip is broken and i couldn't read bios to do the modification.
I will order a new one and then remove whitelist, but yes i will test tomorrow if the version 2.36 removes whitelist, if that works that would be fantastic as i will do that instead.
 
Yes. Very nice for a X240.
Hope you support X240 soon on Macos Mojave and MacOS Catalina performance and code cleanup
Thanks.

I downgraded bios to v2.36 but unfortunately the X240 does still have whitelist as the bios is a bit different than T440 and T440S model, we will have to mod our bios in order to have working card.

There is a x240 bios version 2.36 but then that model is newer.
Have you tried 2.34 ? Does it remove whitelist ?
Hopefully it does, i will test tonight.
My CH341a or soic8 test clip is damaged, so i can't remove whitelist for now until the newer one that i ordered arrives (should take around 3 weeks).
