Windows 10: How do I set Windows 10 to view 3840 x 2160 resolution on the monitor?

My Samsung computer monitor is capable of a 3840 x 2160 resolution, but my Windows 10 pro only has a maximum monitor resolution setting of 1920 x 1080. How do I configure Windows 10 to take advantage of the 3840 x 2160 resolution that my monitor is capable of?

Problem with Resolution/Windows scaling at 3840 x 2160

Hi,

I have a problem with 2x new machines HP EliteBook x360 1030 regarding their resolution and scaling.

Display settings are as below with Scale recommended 300% and 3840 x 2160 resolution recommended

Problem is with scaling set to 300% anything I click has a massive icon, as shown in excel picture, same with saving in explorer has a tiny box to select from. If changing scaling to 100% then everything is really tiny and unusable. Only work around is changing
from native resolution and setting it to 1920 x 1080 and setting resolution to 100% but it should be able to work at this resolution without issues.

 

3840 x 1080 resolution

Just received Samsung CHG90 monitor that can support a resolution up to 3840 x 1080 however that is not an option in my display settings. I have updated the drivers for my video card (Nvidia GeForce GT 520) 2560 x 1080 is the highest option available.
I am using an HDMI connection. Is there a setting or limitation in windows or my videocard ?

 

Keyboard cursor issues with displayes set at UHD resolution 4k ( 3840 x 2160 )

Hi Stephanie,

I managed to test it and I concluded that issue presents itself in some applications but not all.

The issue is present in notepad, wordpad, SecureCRT

The issue wasn't observed in MS Word, Notepad ++

At the same time, I realized that the issue is specific to external monitor I use. When I use built in laptop display which is of the same resolution 3840 x 2160, the issue wasn't observed. It leads me to a conclusion, that it is either related to HDMI,
or 4k display. I compared setting for built in and external display and I noticed, that a refresh rate of external display can go only to 30hz. Not sure whether it can be cause of the problem, but it is certainly a suspect.

If that is the case, I am wondering what can be done to eliminate the problem with those certain applications, considering that some applications work just fine.

Any advice here is highly appreciated.
