4K TV display too small

[maddock34]

I tried looking up help for this but I can't seem to find anything relating to my problem.

I have a 4K Samsung 6 series TV, I connected it to my PC with an HDMI (extending the displays) and find it displays like this (picture is obviously my wallpaper and the program is the Nvidia control panel). Everything is just way too small. My main monitor is 1920x1080 (so obviously the wallpaper will also be 1080)

Tried adjusting resolution, through both Nvidia control panel and Windows, changed nothing. Not really sure what's going on and am wondering if there's anything that can be done.

I have Windows 7, with a GTX 1060.

EDIT: When I reduced the resolution to 1920x1080 everything fit and looked fine, but I would prefer to ideally use the 4K resolution

Go into the Windows personalization settings, and check the value of the "Choose a Fit" option.
If not already selected, try the "Stretch" option.

No change, things being displayed are also really small

This is one of the properties of a 4K display, they have 4 times the number of pixels of a 1920x1080 display, so if it looks good on a 1080 display, it will be really small on a 4K display.

Yeah, after messing around a little with a few things, I kinda realised that the "small display" issue wasn't really an issue.

Thanks for the suggestions anyway

Getting used to a 4K display can be frustrating, especially if you are using more than one monitor, and they are not the same resolution. Whatever looks good on one will look bad on the other.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

If you want to see the same as what you see on a 1080p display then do the following:

also if your running a Nvidia gpu the Geforce display controller thing works wonders when using different size monitors
