3 Configure screen settings
Right-click some empty space on the desktop and choose
‘Display settings’. Your new display should be listed as ‘1’. Make
sure it’s selected and scroll down to the ‘Scale and Layout’ section.
Verify the ‘Display Resolution’ is set to 3,840 x 2,160 – if it’s not,
click the drop-down menu to select it from the list. The display
should automatically update – click ‘Keep changes’.

Believe it or not, the text may have already been made
larger on-screen for Windows and compatible apps. On our LG
27in display, we still found things too small at the 150% setting,
so click the ‘Change the size of text, apps and other items’
drop-down menu and try a higher setting. 25% more should be
sufficient – any larger and incompatible apps become noticeable.-DUJRQ EXVWHU
