Windows 8 onwards solves this by letting you have different scaling on different screens.

I assume you are using Windows 7, which is why you are seeing this issue?

Thanks for your response Wim.

Sorry I did not mention my Windows version in my original post. I am running Windows version 8.1 although it seems to be acting like Win 7 in regard to scaling. On the display settings screen there is a check box labeled "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays" that is not checked. The system however acts like it is checked. I can only adjust the scaling for one monitor (the monitor that was set as the "main" monitor when the system was booted.

While I would like to set the scaling separately for each display when docked my pressing issue is that resolution and scaling are not adapting to the change in environment when I dock or un-dock. When I dock or un-dock the scaling is not adjusted until I close all running applications and reboot. This is a huge pain in the neck and (I think) should not be necessary. Do you have any suggestions that may help me get this fixed?

Thanks, Mark
