I upgraded to a 4K monitor and all my text and icons in the app are now unreadably small. Chaning the display settings all the way up to 380% didn't help much. Does PD11 even support 4K? Kins pointless to have it if it doesn't.

Presumably you have set your graphics adapter to 3840x2160 to match the native resolution of your monitor. Have you tried setting your resolution a little lower? I drive my monitor at 2560x1440 and leave the display setting at 100% and find that everything works well at that.

Hi geokr -

DPI scaling wasn't introduced in PDR till version 13, so I guess you'll have to set your display resolution to 1920x1080 until you upgrade to a more recent version of PDR. PDR15 is pretty cheap right now

Thanks, tried that but no real improvement. Guess I'll have to upgrade.
