New computer, Different resolutions

PHWOARR

I just got a new laptop with 3840 x 2160 native resolution (nvidia 980m) but I have a 1920 x 1080 dell g2410 monitor I was using before with an old laptop. Right now, I can't get the screens to split correctly. the 24" 1080 screen is displaying huge icons and the 15.6" screen looks fine but when dragging windows across it makes life difficult. I have display fusion pro for window management and it worked fine before on the old laptop. The old one was a 14" hp pavilion dm4, nothing special with crap for native resolution. any assistance would be great, trying to make the 24" dell my main monitor and the laptop the side one just to clarify

I assume you have windows dispay scaling active as the PPI of the laptop screen is very high. But this is also applied to your external screen. I think you can't set the scaling for every monitor individually but I could be wrong.

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

Windows 10 allows individual scaling for each display output.
