    Monitor Scaling and resolution


    I have a 2 monitor setup on windows 10. I have a 23.8 inch 1440p monitor, and a 31 inch 1080p television as my second monitor. In the windows display settings menu it assumes the 1080p tv is smaller than the 1440p monitor despite it being the opposite. Is there a way to input the inches a monitor/tv is so it scales correctly? In the photo, monitor 1 is the 1440p monitor, and 2 is the 1080p television. Thanks in advance.

  2. Monitor Resolution reset after system restart

    Hi there,

    I just bought a new 4k Monitor and added it to my system as primary monitor with my 1080p monitor as secondary. The problem I face everyday is when is start my system, the monitor resolution is reset. Earlier it used to reset my 4K monitor to 1080p and when
    I check settings: Display Settings --> Scale and Layout it say 'A Custom Scale factor is Set'. To resolve it I had to log out and log in. After logging back the resolutions are fine and the Display Settings --> Scale and Layout 'A Custom Scale factor is Set'
    is not 200%. But now from yesterday my resolution of 1080p display is getting changed to 4k on system restart. Again I have to do the above steps mentioned to resolve it. This is really annoying, why does not Windows remember my 2 monitors resolution. It
    would be really helpful if anyone can suggest the solution.

    My system details if it helps to find solution:

    OS - Windows 10 latest update

    Monitor 1 - LG 27UD68-B (set to 4K native)

    Monitor 2 - LG E2360V (set to 1080p native)

    Graphics Card - Nvidia GTX970

    Custom display scaling across multiple monitors?

    Hello Greg,

    I'm sorry I didn't read that correctly.

    The native resolution for my main monitor is 1920x1080 with 140% scaling.

    The native resolution for my second monitor is 1360x768 with 100% scaling.

    Currently both monitors are set to there respective resolution but i'm unable to set custom scaling for only 1 monitor.

    However with both monitors set to there resolutions, it sadly still does not fix the issue.

    Sorry if I am still not understanding.

    MS Office and Skype scaling issue with display monitors

    Hi J,

    The scaling issues with your display monitor can be caused by an outdated operating system. To further isolate the concern, we suggest that you check for the latest update for Windows by following these steps:

    • Click on Start or the Windows Logo on your taskbar.
    • Select Settings or the gear icon and click Updates & security.
    • Click on Check for updates.

    If any updates are found, install it and wait for Windows to complete the update and then restart the device.

    Let us know the result of your troubleshooting.
