Hi, I installed DR 17.4 Studio for Windows. It completely messed up the UI and the fonts were bigger and I couldn't even see the video to color grade. Tried compatibility settings and High DPI settings and scaling etc. Couldn't fix it. Tried reinstalling. No luck. 17.4 is unusable for me. Had to reinstall DaVinciResolve_Studio_17.3.2_Windows and its back to normal. Luckily I can now carry on! Can you fix what is broken? cheers Rup

In my case under WIN11 the UI is too much little. AGAIN, Friends of BMD, we need a new windows version is it clear or not?

The following should solve this problem (at least it worked for me on my 4k 15" notebook monitor, with 250% font scaling). - right click on the DaVinci icon - choose the compatibility tab - change High DPI settings - overwrite High DPI scaling, choose "System"
Thank you, it works. But by scaling the fonts look unsharp at the edges on my 15''/4K notebook screen. This is not a solution for working a longer period of time.

Sadly I didn't have any success with that. It shows a little bit less big but still looks difficult (to not say impossible) to work. I downgraded Resolve to to 13.2

I agree with you and IMHO this is something that needs to be adresses ASAP by BM. Hopefully they do not use 3rd party libraries for the UI which needs to be changed. I've seen this by another software for multimedia shows and there it took ages to solve this.
To which value is your default font scaling set in Windows?

Like a lot of software, Resolve uses the QT UI framework.
According to research done by another user, it appears that Resolve uses quite an old version of QT, dating from 2014, which does not properly support Windows display scaling values other than 100% and 200%. It works OK with macOS display scaling, but not Windows:

It is a 7 year old library, for goodness sake! The current QT 5.15.2 supports HDPI scaling of any size (according to the documentation) and - according to QT - is backwards compatible. I know, that the practice of "library compatibility" may be quite far from reality, but gosh, it is really past time when the 7 year-old library should be upgraded!
