I have a setup with two monitors (One has a resolution of 1920x1080, and the other one 1920x1200).
The 1200p monitor is slightly smaller in height than the 1080p one, and still it seems that windows (10) thinks its bigger.
Because of this everything looks smaller on the 1200p one (the cursor, the windows, everything).

This is what it looks like.


I can fix it by putting my screen resolution to 1680x1050, but I dont think this could be a final solution.
I found one thread in which someone seemed to have the same problem, but he made a tutorial for Nvidia Users (AMD user here). Also it looked like he just changed the resolution aswell, ending up with worse quality. I may have just misunderstood what he wrote (Im not a native english speaker) and look like a complete idiot now^^
I know, it's not a major problem, but it distracts me every day. If you need more information about the situation you can ask me of course.
I'd be really happy about an answer :)

What you are seeing seems perfectly normal to me. The monitor on the left (1200) has a box that is say 600 pixels tall. That same 600 pixel box on the left takes up a larger portion of the 1080 screen. 50% of the 1200 pixel tall screen vs 60% on the 1080 screen. You could set the 1200 monitor to 1080p, buy matching monitors, or live with it.

Thank you for your answer! My brothers gave me the monitors for my birthday so I shouldn't complain^^ Right now I have set the second monitor on 1050p which solves the scaling problem. I just use it for secondary things, so the worse quality doesn't bother me too much. And if I need it for more precise things I can just set it back to its native resolution :D
