Multiple displays different resolutions

DatDodgeDoe · April 25, 2020

To save a few bucks and upgrade my pc's displays i found a used predator xb1 1080p display and purchased a new 1440p predator xb1. both are identical in size but when transferring from screen to screen the size of whatever i am working on changes. When moved to the 1080 display the task will become larger and moved to the 1440 the task will become smaller. I would like for everything to remain the size as it is displayed in the 1440 monitor. Is there any way to accomplish this or am i stuck with this issue until i replace the 1080 monitor with another 1440? I have included a few pictures to hopefully clearly illustrate my issue. Thanks in advance.

I have problems with this too. Can't find a solution.

AFAIK, there's no way to accomplish this, except for changing the 1440 monitor's resolution to match the 1080's.

Change display scaling on the 1440p to 125%. It will still appear different sizes if spanned across the displays but if you fully move a window from one to the other it will stay the same size. I run 1440 and 1080 but I really think display scaling is worse than a window "changing sizes".

Of course, the window isn't actually changing sizes, it is still the same height and width in pixels, it just takes up more of the screen on the 1080 display.
