I have an issue with my new Lenovo W520. It has the 1920x1080 display and having connected it to an external monitor 1650x1080 I'm getting what appear to be scaling issues on the native laptop display.

Some applications seem to be displaying in a lower resolution than native and nothing I do seems to reset them. I've tried:

  • Rebooting
  • Disconnecting the second monitor
  • Resetting NVIDIA settings back to default (using the NVIDIA Control Panel)

I've attached a screenshot below that shows this occuring. Chrome and MS Lync also have issues whereas Internet Explorer and Office are fine. Hopefully you can see the window in the background is native resolution but the one in front that's opened from the other isn't.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
