  1. How to make UI the same size across multiple monitors


    Hello there,


    I have two monitors set up to my computer, both 1080p, and had just recently gotten an additional new monitor that is 1440p. I noticed that there is a considerable difference in UI size taskbar, windows, icons between the two, most likely because of the difference of resolution. Is there any way to make the UI a bit larger on the new monitor so that the UI is consistent between all the monitors? It's bugging me slightly that there's a difference.


    Thank you.

    :)

  2. why can't I adjust the font size on my second monitor when using multiple monitors?

    Hello Fernando,

    We regret the inconvenience. Let me assist you.

    I suggest you to consider the following scenarios (from 1 - 3) and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Scenario 1

    What is the native resolution of the display monitor you are referring to?

    Try setting the resolution of the monitor same as what is set under Windows settings and check if it helps.

    Scenario 2

    What is the DPI scale factor set in Windows (ideally should be set to 100%)?

    You may decrease the DPI in this case. However, it will impact the visual performance of bot the monitors.

    When a display has a higher DPI, pixels are smaller and closer together, so that the user interface (UI) and other displayed content appears smaller than intended. Follow the below steps to do so.

    • Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click/tap on the Display icon.
    • Under Change size of items, click/tap on the set a custom scaling level link.
    • Drag the ruler left or right to the scaling percentage you want.

      Note: Select the scaling percentage you want in the drop down menu.
    • Click on apply

    Scenario 3

    Did you install all the requisite drivers(up to date) for the display device?

    If it still does not help, diagnose the issue by setting the second monitor as the
    main display.

    Follow these suggestions.

    • Right click on the empty space on your desktop, select
      Screen resolution.
    • On the Monitor tab, click the 2nd monitor and then select the box “This is my main monitor” check box.
    • Click Apply, click OK.
    If the issue still persists, please update the display adapter drivers and check.

    Write to us with the updated status related to the display issue for us to be able to assist you further.

    Thank You.

  3. i have a problem to connect 2 monitors.

    Hi Ron,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
    • How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?
    I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/how-connect-multiple-monitors

    [Applies to Windows 10 as well]

    Regards.
