Screen Resolution Quickbooks 2020

I am running QB 2020 on a Lenovo laptop with default screen resolution of 3840 x 2160.  Even with the scale set to change the size of fonts by 250% (also recommended) viewing anything in QB on the laptop screen is extremely difficult; everything is tiny and nearly impossible to read.  Are there any setting that can be set in QB to resolve this issue?

 

Thank you.

Yes. We have the option to adjust the scaling, DJMangen.

 

You can follow the steps below for the steps to change your display preferences:

 

  1. Close your QuickBooks Desktop program.
  2. In the Windows Start menu, type QuickBooks.
  3. Right-click the icon and then select Open file location.
  4. In the folder, right-click the QuickBooks.exe file and select Properties.
  5. Go to the Compatibility tab.
  6. Select the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings box and then Override high DPI scaling behavior.
  7. Select Apply.
  8. Hit OK.

 

If the same thing happens, you can check these references on how to change the display settings of your Windows:

 

Just a heads up, changing your Windows settings affects all programs on your computer, not just QuickBooks.

 

 

I'm just around if there's anything that I can help. Stay safe!
