1459748 2019-04-03 21:09:00 Hi all.
SWMBO's computer setup for work is a HP laptop connected by a hub to a 21 in monitor. As she has eye problems both are lower than normal resolution (larger program font size}. She can remove the laptop for travel use.
Yesterday morning everything was normal. she took the lappy to sons place to work and then she reconnected last night
After reconnecting the mouse and window transfers were working backwards so fixed that in the display settings. She noticed that the monitor and lappy were displaying in small fonts, too small for her. Lappy display changed ok.
Desktop fonts on the monitor are good but fonts in programs ie Outlook and work program and anything that is transferred to the monitor are all to small.
Any ideas appreciated.

1459750 2019-04-03 21:59:00 Try changing the external monitors resolution. Make it lower res. That will make everything bigger .

Or use Win10's 'ease of display' . I think WIn7 has something similar (ease of access , in control panel)

No .
Not only is it yuk, you should run LCDs in native resolution .
All O/Ss have a screen font size adjustment, also icon sizes too .
Google it . . . . for whichever O/S you have .
