Windows 10 scaling issue

Hi all,


I currently use two displays; a 22" monitor (primary), the other a 60" TV (secondary). The secondary monitor has a scaling factor of 125% selected within 'Display Settings'. I'm experiencing a problem with the feature whereby when switching back to the primary monitor; some of the scaling artefacts remain and interfere with general use.

VLC Media Player being the best example... The video output is displayed with an apparent zoom of the content (125%, perhaps?).










As you can see from the screen above, the credits are cut off due to said zoom. A restart fixes the problem but this is most inconvenient to action on a regular basis.

Is anyone aware of the cause? Or more to the point; a fix!


Thanks in advance!

You do not want to zoom in VLC. You need to learn how to use the Video settings for the program. If that video was from a 4:3/480i source, you are going to end up with the borders on the left and right side.

Sorry, I should've been clearer. This zoomed effect is caused by Windows 10 scaling feature. It's not something that's been enabled in VLC.

If I log-in to the OS using my secondary monitor (60" TV), Windows applies a scaling factor of 125% so everything is bigger and easier to read. However, it also results in this zoom-like side effect when using VLC. If I log in using my primary monitor (which has no scaling enabled) then the video displays fine.

Here's the video if logged in via my primary monitor instead:



As you can see, it's the full image displayed this time...
