I recently got a new 4K monitor and now whenever I play a video on this monitor, VLC only displays the video in the upper left quarter of the screen, when it's running in a window or full screen. When running in a window, the video display is actually somewhat falls slightly outside (to the left) of the main VLC window.



The resolution of the video makes no difference.



I tried a different player, Media Player Classic Home Cinema, and it plays it perfectly, but I would rather figure out how to get VLC to work.



I am running Windows 10 with a GTX 1060 video card.



I have completely no idea where to even start looking to troubleshoot this, I've done a fair amount of googling but haven't found anyone else with this problem.

  • Does your setup have dual-monitors? VLC will use the resolution of the main screen.

  • It does, and the main screen is 4K. Regardless, wouldn't it adjust as you switch screens?

  • But, VLC is opening on the main (4K) screen, yet displaying in 1080....??? Surely it's capable of playing 4K content?

    I believe that this is a known problem with VLC on a computer with dual monitors.
    For best results the two monitors should have the same resolution.



    As VLC is a Qt application, you might try to create an environment variable
    called QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR with the value of 0



    You might also raise the question on the
    The VideoLAN Forums,
    where you might get an answer from the developer.
