2 Monitors, same size, different resolution won't line up in display settings

[The Absolute Madman]

I recently bought my second monitor, a 1440p monitor to replace my current one, a 1080p monitor. side by side they are the same size (27 inch) but in windows display settings the 1440p monitor is much larger, making it so my mouse doesnt evenly transition between screens. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it, or am i just stuck with this goofy setup

yep, thats how dpi (dot/pixel pitch works)
the 1080p has larger pixels than the 1440p

best to buy monitors with the same dpi or better yet buy 2 of the exact same monitor
then you are less likely to have different colors between them

You can use Nvidias DSR to Bump the 1080ps display resolution upto 1440p. Not as good as true 1440p but still pretty good..

Right-click desktop > Nvidia Control panel > Manage 3D settings > DSR- Factors > 1.78x > Ok > Apply >Change Resolution > Select your 1080p monitor > Under Dynamic Super Resolution You'll have 2560 x 1440 (1.78x) > Select it > Apply

You can play with the DSR smoothness % if you want but I found 33% is fine, for me anyway.

AMD has its own DSR version I'm not sure what its called or how to enable it though.

It's something you'll get used to, been using 1440p main with 1080p secondary screens for a while and never found it a big issue.
