Dual monitor display Lap Top + Acer LB window size issue

[HultManufacturing (Grant Hultman)]

As you can see in the photo I am having a difficult time getting LB window to cooperate with a second monitor. I have tried 2 different monitors, cables, on/off, and playing with every other setting.

I know this is typically considered an OS issue but dual monitors are typical for my workflow so im wondering if there are any suggestions that I am missing?

The only way I can get LB to display appropriately is if I run the displays as “Duplicate” but that kinda defeats the purpose of having a monitor + laptop screen

I did try the Shift>open trick.

Preview screen does not go back to main display when gong from 2 monitors to one

I use a laptop with a docking station on my windows version of Lightburn (ruida controller) . When docked, I have 2 monitors and the preview is set to come up in the second monitor. If I just undock and pick up my laptop without moving the display back to the laptop display I will lose the preview and can not get it back until I redock and manually move it. I have even exited Lightburn and rebooted the laptop, I still do not get it back. HELP! I hope this makes sence

Thank You!

The issue is that the controls are all very large, yeah?

Screen resolution issue

Do you have display scaling enabled on your Windows desktop? That will affect fonts in LightBurn, and could do what you’re seeing.

This could be your issue. I didn’t catch your OS, but DPI settings are in the control panel under System>Display in windows 10.

Nailed it. Thanks!

Display Settings > Advanced Scaling Settings > Let Windows try to fix apps so they’re not blurry > OFF
The custom scaling option did nothing to help the situation.

Not sure if this mattered in the solution but I also made the design monitor the main display.
