    How do I resize displays? XOUPGci654NzInDfnl0UwMy-Kq7Ka0KyKblB19a72IY.jpg

    I am running both a 1080p and 4k monitor, however, the 4k monitor shows up as much larger than the 1080p monitor even though they are physically similar sizes. this means that if I move my cursor from my 4k monitor to my 1080p monitor it can get stuck in certain places (I've marked these red in the screenshot) as windows thinks there is no physical display there. I would appreciate if anyone could help me.
