Hi All,

Hi,

Everything looks great on the laptop's display, but the pair of external monitors I've attached appear as though (hypothetically) a default laptop scaling factor is also being applied to them.

The displays are properly detected -- operating at the correct frequencies and resolutions -- but the elements displayed on them are unusually large. To hazard a guess I'd say almost by a factor of 2x.

Is there a global 'zoom' setting somewhere I can adjust for external displays?

Configure Desktop/Display and Monitor/Displays/Scale Display/Scale to set scale globally. However, this probably will not suffice if the DPIs of the monitors differ too much, e.g. one is HiDPI and the other not. In this case, check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#Qt_5. The proper way to support such a setup unfortunately implies using Wayland, which supports different DPI for different displays; all other solutions I've tried are either buggy or barely work.

TIA & regards,

Carl -- Regards, Peter
