  3. Dual monitors with different DPI settings do not give correct scaling

    An issue with DPI scaling arises when using two different scaling factors. The screen with the lower DPI display is fuzzy/blurred (most easily seen in text).

    Hardware and settings

    These are the hardware and settings involved:

    • 1x primary 3840x2160 27" monitor with DPI scaling set to 150% (because regular text is unreadable at 27").
    • 1x secondary 1920x1080 24" monitor with DPI scaling set to 100%, displaying blurry text and images at these settings.
    Workarounds

    When I use the same DPI scaling on both monitors the display shows correctly. This gives two undesirable workarounds:

    • Setting 100% DPI scale on the UHD screen fixes display, but makes text unreadably small on this monitor.
    • Setting 150% DPI scale on the HD screen fixes display, but makes text so large I barely have any screen space left on this monitor.
    Is there per chance a better solution to this problem? Is this a Windows bug or am I using DPI scaling in the wrong way?

    EDIT: Here's the system info from dxdiag just in case.

    Screen scaling

    Hi!

    Yesterday something strange happened with my screen scaling. I'm using old 4:3 screen and GeForce 250 graphic card. w10 1903.

    For two or three years 1280x720 screen resolution worked very well. I had a perfect 16:9 display in center and two black lines up and down.

    But today something bad happened - all 16:9 or another screen resolutions now "fit" to all available screen space.

    Also I can't change scaling settings in nVidia Control Panel (like I did before), it can't apply any settings at all.

    I reinstall 5 or more driver versions and nothing changed. Looks like from now Windows controls scaling and I can't find a magic button "please not scale my image" in any settings.
