Windows 10: Need a little help setting up a 4k monitor on my existing system.

I watch a lot of TV I also use my computer a lot. I'm not a gamer. I have to switch glasses and wait for logins and was wasting time with that. So I figure I'll a setup a 32" 4k LCD monitor and just use the computer. I need help with what card\monitor combo would work for what i want on my existing.
I hope I copied all pertinent info.
Watching TV streaming (Netflix., Prime, Max) on my computer is the number one goal

4k monitor not giong to 4k

i just got a 4k monitor for Christmas and on settings there is no option above 1440p. i have plugged the monitor into an Xbox that can run 4k and it worked. So now it seems like an error with m pc however my old monitor was 4k and although a little laggy, it worked. it is definitely not the HDMI as it worked with the Xbox, it doesn't seem like a problem with the monitor (this monitor came shipped with a defect on the screen, a line of faulty pixels) so everything points at it being my pc however it worked with my old 4k monitor.

 

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

 

Issue with windows and a new 4K monitor.

Hello,

I just got a new 4K monitor and was all excited to get this up and running as it's a big upgrade from my 8 year old 1080p one. When I plug the new monitor in, windows font and images as well as google chrome or anything else I use seem a little fuzzy. I run a dual monitor setup and the side monitor is still a 1080p and if I look at the same thing on the 1080p it looks way more crisp.

When I go to display settings I set the resolution to 4k, but windows "recommends" 1080p (see image). I don't understand why it recommends that--as if it doesn't recognize the monitor is 4k? If I switch the resolution to the 1080p it looks more crisp and the blurriness resolves.





Any suggestions? I've spent hours tinkering with scaling, adjusting the 'cleartype' text options, making sure gfx card drivers are up to date, installed monitor drivers and no luck.

Monitor: Samsung S28AG70.

Gfx card: Nvidia RTX 2080 TI

I'm using an HDMI cable which is supposedly rated for 4k@60FPS. I've ordered a displayport cable in the hopes that might make a difference but it's not here yet.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
