Let me start off saying I actually have 3 monitors, but my 3rd monitor is an old one and shouldn't matter at this time since its SD and not HD.
I have 2 other monitors though. Both are HD televisions One is like 28 inch, the other is 60 inch. the 60 inch one is connected to my cable for tv as well. Everything was working fine for a long time till I downloaded windows 8.1.
Now I have both set to the highest settings of 1920x1080. But when I move things from my 28inch to my 60 inch. The things on the 60 inch are giant and blown out of proportion now.
I tested this with internet explorer and if I have internet explorers zoom settings set to 100% on the 28 inch. When I move the window to the 60 inch. It suddenly reads it at 160% zoom. And if I set it to 100% on the 60 inch and move it to the 28 inch, it reads it at 63% zoom. It didn't used to do this. Also this happens with games now which is even far worse. If im in the 28 inch everything is fine, but if I move a game window over to the 60 inch, everything becomes scrunched together and text is blown up to huge proportions and I don't even know how to fix this for gaming.
The odd thing is. The desktop background and toolbars are all set to the proper size and look the same across both monitors. Or if they aren't. I cant detect any discernable difference like I can if I move a window from one to the other. BUT its clear that the mouse pointer is much larger on the 60 inch tv.
Is this an issue with 8.1 something else im doing wrong? Is there a way to lock everything or at least games and internet explorer to be just normal and the same betwixt the 2?
This might seem like just a minor annoyance at least for browsing the interent. But if im gaming it just screws everything up. Can anyone offer any help please?
I can give graphic card settings and even screen shot the difference between the 2 if youd like.
