I was given a Ultra HD monitor for Christmas and hooked it up to us as my primary monitor today.

Fired up MWO to see how it looks, and while the mechs look amazing the text in the game, ie. shop, mechbays, etc., is absolute cr@p.

It's basically illegible at all resolutions now.

Does anyone have any suggestions to remedy this issue?

First, are your cables
Standard HDMI Cable: 1,782 GBit/s (74,25 MHz × 8 bit × 3, Type A)
Highspeed HDMI Cable: 8,16 GBit/s (340 MHz × 8 bit × 3, Type A + C)

What is your system setup, brands/models, and that is including your new 4K monitor. And when noting resolution, do you mean both desktop AND game, or are you only change the game resolution? And Full Screen or windowed?

Need more info so that others who have gone through setting it up are able to assist.

EVGA 1080 vid card

cables...believe that they are high speed.

Samsung monitor.

This only happened when switching to the new monitor. Finding lots of compatibility problems with having two different displays with differing resolutions.

I think I will just solve it by putting the other original monitor back and;

1. give my 4000k one to my son
2. Just hang onto the 4000k and not use it until I'm ready to by a 2nd 4000k screen.

I actually missed you posting it is your primary.

How does it run when you are using only one monitor?

Everything runs fine.

It's simply an incompatibility issue trying to run dual monitors with significantly different resolutions.

Every other game etc., I run looks fine. MWO , especially the fonts, looks like illegible cr@p. I'm going to turn the resolution down on the game and make do.

Would be helpful if you provided a little info.

What monitor make and model?
What is the resolution and refresh rate you are running it at (4000k is slightly vague)
Yes, the cable you are using does matter, especially on 4K monitors. and would be helpful to know what cable you have running from the 1080 to the monitor
maybe a brief discription of your pc specs ? (although that shouldnt affect illegible fonts only)

From what I read,
4K gaming is difficult.
