Windows 10: 4k monitor VS 1080 monitor issues

I have been using a 1080 144hz monitor for gaming for the past 6 months now and have been playing overwatch at 60frames CONSTANTLY (never any dips). I recently decided to get a second monitor that was 4k and 60hz. Upon setting it up and running overwatch, i noticed thatupon entering a game, i received less than 30fps per game. The settings were not touched on neither overwatch NOR my 4k monitor. I'm confused as to how it runs slower on my newer, more expensive monitor. The overwatch settings were still 1080 settings and the game was still in full screen (as to how it was on my other monitor). I'm curious as to why overwatch runs slower on my 4k monitor compared to my 1080 monitor. Both are ASUS branded running windows 10 (i even played a game on my 1080 monitor just to see if it was my computer but it seemed to be the game) Any idea as to why? Are my settings not fit for the monitor? i know it's not completely windows related however I'm a bit new at building PC's so i was wondering why this might happen.

4K and 1080 Monitors problem...


I purchased a 4K monitor and also have a 1080 monitor on my system.

I have set the size of text, apps and other items in the Display options on the 4k monitor at 150% so its readable, at 100% the text is very small.

I have set the 1080 monitor at 100%.

The problem is when the 4K monitor is set to 150%, and the 1080 monitor to 100%, anything on the 1080 monitor looks a little blurred. The size of the text etc is the same as normal, just blurred.

Now when I set the 4K monitor too 100% and the 1080 monitor to 100%, anything on the 1080 monitor looks fine and sharp.

Has anyone else had this problem? if so how did the resolve the issue?

Thanks in advance

 

4K and 1080 Monitors problem...

I have had different monitor resolutions before, until I got my 4k monitor, I had a 1080 monitor and a 1280 x 1024 monitor with no problems at all.

I think the the problem lies with the changing the size of text, apps and other items to 150% on the 4k, and 100% on the 1080, as when both set to 100% it works fine (but then on the 4k monitor the text is too small to read comfortably).

It weird as some apps appear fine on the 1080, but most are blurred.

Oh well just something to put up with I suppose.

 

Windows display settings not recognising my 4K monitor resolution

I have a Philips BDM4350 4K monitor.

I have a surface book with GPU and Windows 10.

I have a Mini Display Port adapter connected to a 23 Gbps 4k HDMI cable and the monitor set to HDMI 2.0.

It does not have the option for 4K in Windows setting and only allows 1080.

Any thoughts?
