    Screens are same size but different resolution.


    I have 2 screens, my main monitor that is 1440p, and a TV above it that is 1080p. They are identical in size, but due to their different resolutions windows detects the TV as being smaller. This means trying to move the mouse from the top right side of the monitor hits an invisible wall until you find a point where windows thinks the TV should be. I don't want to have to reduce the resolution of the monitor (obviously) and while changing the scaling makes the content on them the same size, I still can't mouse properly. Any ideas?
