    Windows 10 Anniversary... I can go to 150% scaling in PRIMARY and MIRROR but when I use only the secondary screen (it's a TV) the DPI scaling is disabled... why?

  2. Applications on main and second screen blurry

    I can't set DPI scaling on both screens since Windows doesn't detect my second screen to begin with even though it works totally fine. So no I cannot set DPI scaling.

  3. Applications on main and second screen blurry

    Hi,

    I have a second screen hooked up to my laptop and some applications are blurry on my main screen (laptop) but not on the second screen. I have the same problem the other way around, some applications will be cristal clear on my second screen but not on my
    main screen. Probably has to do something with DPI scaling and font sizing. I've already tried the following solutions.

    • Change scale in display settings (It won't detect the second screen even though it is working).
    • Updated both my GPU's (GTX 1050 and a Intel stock GPU).
    • Tried to change the DPI settings on specific applications.
    • Downloaden XPExplorer (set it to Windows 8 DPI scaling)

    None of them fixed my problem. Is there any way to fix this?

    Are you connected to the HDMI/DVI port on the TV or a standard HDMI port ?

    My guess is Windows thinks it is a TV (HDCP) and you are going to watch TV , so doesn't allow scaling

    On the HDMI/DVI (PC Port) it should I think ?

  6. Hi,

    I have a laptop with HDMI OUTPUT.
    I have an HDMI patch from laptop HDMI output to TV HDMI in.

    In the primary monitor I can scale DPI as I want (100%, 125%, 150%, and so).
    In the secondary monitor (TV HD HDMI) I cannot scale, I have to remain to 100%.

    Why this?

    PS: I check about the DVI/HDMI question, my PC output is simply HDMI while the TV is DVI/HDMI input. I can swear that on Windows 7 and even on Windows 10 (but not the AU) I was able to scale DPI on the secondary. But I had another graphic chipset there (AMD).
