Setting Screen position of external monitor on Vegas 15 Pro

Hi folks

I'm using Vegas 15 on a Windows 10 PC and it is mostly working fine.

My main screen is a Samsung 4K monitor (3840x2160). I then have a separate external monitor for previewing videos, which is a standard Dell monitor (1920x1200). Both are connected to the same graphics card. The 4K is on HDMI, the Dell uses the DVI socket.
When I tell Vegas to preview video on the external Dell monitor, the preview video is displayed BUT the window is positioned incorrectly, so that half of it is missing off the right hand edge of the monitor.

Now usually if a window is in the wrong position on the screen , you can just grab the title bar and drag to wherever you need to be. BUT the video preview window in Vegas has no title bar to allow it to be picked up and repositioned. So how on earth do you move the preview window so it sits in the middle of the screen? (or even how do I maximise so that it fills the full monitor display?).

I can't find any preferences that control the settings for the external preview monitor, other than being able to select its graphics driver.

All suggestions gratefully received!


Paul

Well, other posts have solved this issue. You need to go to Windows graphics setting for the external monitor and turn off any scaling settings. Then it all works fine.

A pity Vegas itself doesn't offer more control of this, rather than relying on Windows own settings
