Problems with 4K display scaling- text blurry/mouse issues.

[Aquablue]

Hello,

I have a 4K display with windows 10 scaling (required so I can see text - my eyesight isn't very good) and the text in Live looks poor. It appears broken-up and blurry. Is Live not programmed to deal with scaling properly for 4K displays?

Also, the mouse is too sensitive when I try to move automation envelopes and faders. How do I solve this issue?

If I set windows scaling to 100% and set scaling in Live to 200, the menus are too small for me to see unfortunately and plug ins look tiny.

Thanks

I have the same issue. Messed with it way longer than I should have and no results. I am forced to scale to 1080p for any text to be legible.

Hello,

I had exactly the same issues. Someone suggested to change the compatibility settings for "Ableton Live Suite.exe". Select "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".

This works ok for me. Text is now sharp enough and there are no problems with mouse sensivity.

I however see this as a workaround, and hope Ableton will come with a "real" solution!

Same thing here. For me disabling scaling on high DPI settings is a no go since menu and plugins windows become minuscule.

The interesting thing is that the mouse pointer behavior is fine when I use my laptop's built-in touch pad vs. a mouse.

This is really annoying. I have opened a ticket with tech support, but they seem to be dodging the issue. 4k displays are here to stay, so I guess they'll have to find a proper way to make Live work on high DPI displays.
