Windows 10: windows thinks second monitor is smaller, even though they are same size.

Hello, i have a issue with windows where it thinks my second monitor is smaller than my main one, they are the same size, 32 inches I think this may be because my main monitor is 3840 x 2160 while my secondary one is 1920x1080, its getting annoying as I can only move over a tab if I do it in the very center left of the screen, any fixes to this?

:)

 

why can't I adjust the font size on my second monitor when using multiple monitors?

Hello Fernando,

We regret the inconvenience. Let me assist you.

I suggest you to consider the following scenarios (from 1 - 3) and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Scenario 1

What is the native resolution of the display monitor you are referring to?

Try setting the resolution of the monitor same as what is set under Windows settings and check if it helps.

Scenario 2

What is the DPI scale factor set in Windows (ideally should be set to 100%)?

You may decrease the DPI in this case. However, it will impact the visual performance of bot the monitors.

When a display has a higher DPI, pixels are smaller and closer together, so that the user interface (UI) and other displayed content appears smaller than intended. Follow the below steps to do so.

• Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click/tap on the Display icon.
• Under Change size of items, click/tap on the set a custom scaling level link.
• Drag the ruler left or right to the scaling percentage you want.
  
  Note: Select the scaling percentage you want in the drop down menu.
• Click on apply

Scenario 3

Did you install all the requisite drivers(up to date) for the display device?

If it still does not help, diagnose the issue by setting the second monitor as the
main display.

Follow these suggestions.

• Right click on the empty space on your desktop, select
  Screen resolution.
• On the Monitor tab, click the 2nd monitor and then select the box “This is my main monitor” check box.
• Click Apply, click OK.

If the issue still persists, please update the display adapter drivers and check.

Write to us with the updated status related to the display issue for us to be able to assist you further.

Thank You.

 

Moving window to smaller monitor increases window size

Hello,

I just bought a new small monitor (portable if that matters) and when I move a window from my larger monitor to the small monitor, the window at first seems to be smaller, but as drag it more into the monitor, it instantly expands. It's almost as if it tries to match the size of my words across monitors. Is there some setting I can choose what happens?

Thanks.

 

Moving window to smaller monitor increases window size

only if you keep both monitors to same resolution .
