AC22 - Not displaying correctly

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello all,
Running a Lenovo P52s, i7, 1.9 ghz, quadro p500 with an external Ben Q high res monitor.
AC22 looks normal in the high res laptop screen, if I move it to the larger monitor, some parts of the program become out of proportion. It is workable, I have to move the Dialog Boxes to the laptop monitor to be able to read/expand the different settings.
The laptop has two cards, the integrated intel UHD and the Quadro p500.
The IT department thought this was the optimal laptop for work, but, even AutoCAD does not work properly
Any thoughts?

Have you tried adjusting text/space
within the "Displays" settings
(System Preferences)?

I did right clicked on the icon>properties>compatibility>change high dpi settings>override high dpi scaling behavior>by application. (Windows 10)
I will play around with those settings again and see what it does.
Thank you for replying

My bad. I really should read posts more carefully.
I didn't realize it was a PC
(Your signature shows Mac OS/Mojave, Oh yeah... and an iMac).
My screen shot isn't really relevant.

No worries, it actually helped me to go back to the display settings in Windows and play around with them.
The program looks good now, but, the settings window is a bit off, but, better than it was when I posted.
I am not sure why the struggle between the different screen resolutions, all other applications seem to "understand" when I move the windows between screen and adjust accordingly to the new resolution.
Thanks!

Looking at your last image you may also want to look at the scaling options for the displays.
Usually this changes the size of the entire dialogue box though, not just the title and slider buttons.
So it may not be the problem.

When changing the settings you sometimes have to log out and then back in to enact them.
