Default Unbelievable : the display scaling needs to be manually adjusted !


Why is the Pro Tools user interface appear distorted in a 4K or 5K screen resolution? At the moment, the user interface of Pro Tools is not supported in ultra high-definition monitors (specifically on 4K and above). The highest screen resolution where the user interface is not distorted is in 1920 x 1080. If an ultra-high display resolution is desired, then the display scaling needs to be manually adjusted.

It is true. I do not like it because it ventilates too much and is not so powerful, but on my 5k iMac, it's perfect. The interface is adpete well. So, PC problem? Win 10? I am a Nvidea 1070 card.

It's relative. Say, to measure: the definition in Pro tools is as good as the icons on your desktop?

Ok, you are in Mac. Mac handles all this well. I come back to PC for power at a better price, but for this problem, Mac is top.

Have you tried optomizing for win 10?
Your system sounds capable.
Old controllers enabled maybe?
