Monitor resolution - scaling and staring position

Monitor resolution - scaling and staring position

Greetings,

 

I’d like some help with the following:

 

Issue description:

I’m using three monitors with different resolutions that are arranged in a non‑standard configuration. I have made use of both the monitor settings and the Workspace property “Local Service Engine size” to force it to a 1080p resolution. Despite this, only the primary monitor displays the correct resolution. Service Engine always opens on Monitor 1, and when I move them to another monitor using Win + Arrow combo key, the resolution becomes incorrect on the other screens.

 

Monitors:

2 - 1920 x 1080

3 - 2560 x 1440

1 – 2560 x 1600 – also main monitor

Monitor 2 and 3 have 100% scaling, but monitor 1 has 125% scaling.

 

 

System info:

OS: Win 11

zenon: 15; build 481184

 

 

Solutions tried:

  • Leaving “0” on workspace = wrong scaling (it’s bigger then the 1080p resolution)
  • Scaling on Monitor 1 to 100% = works, but then Monitor 1 difficult to use – it’s the laptop screen
  • Works if I move the main monitor to Monitor 2; but I’d like the Monitor 1 to be the Primary monitor
  • Different configurations in Monitor Administration
    • 1600p Main resolution
    • No checkbox on auto-scaling
    • Only auto-scale; no checkbox on aspect ratio

 

My ideal solution would be that Monitor 1 as Primary monitor and Monitor 2 is the monitor where the Service Engine starts.

 

Any recommendation is most welcome.

 

Regards,

Aleksej
