Hey, been awhile lol

Can someone help me? I am running a 4k Laptop and at home I have a 3440X1440 monitor. The problem I have is some programs will open in a tiny screen and the text is completely unreadable unless I magnify the area or use my phones camera to enlarge the text.

I have tried down scaling my 4k to 1080, but that seems to make everything else seem.... weird and off...

Is there a fix to this?

I will give 9 Cyber High Fives for any and all help.

Turn on windows scaling. That tends to break things, however.

You could also change the icon size with ctrl+mouse wheel.

The other option is to set your resolution to 1080p, then run all your games in fullscreen with the resolution set to 4k in the settings.

3440/1440 = 2.3888
1920/1080 = 1.777
The aspect ratio is slightly different than 1080p, so it should look stretched out. Look for 1720x720 (720p). That's your resolution cut in half (or a fourth) and should give the best picture. You could go higher as long as you keep the aspect ratio the same.

Idk how they screwed it up so badly tbh.

I use the nvidea built in GPU software to play games at a higher rez than my desktop for that exact reason.
I have a 34 inch and when I put it on 3620 x 1572 I can't read shit.
