New Dell workstation 3660 has unusual Problems

[qqq]

Hi,
Just bought a new Dell 3660 workstation with Following specs:

Intel i-7 12700 CPU
Windows-11 Pro.
Two NVIDIA T-600 Cards each with 4miniDP ports to run 8 Monitors ( 24 inch each 1920x1200 resolution)
16GB DDR5
Three 512GB NVME
Three 4TB Sata 5400 RPM.

Since there are Large 8 Monitors, I have to sit at least 4 to 6 feet away so I can see all 8 monitors & be able to read text from them. But there are two major problems & I don't know the reasons. I am new to Win-11.

(1) In windows explorer file & folder names are too small to read so I increased the text size to 225% in Windows settings ( Image # 1 ) to be able to read. But then the file & folder names get clipped as in attachment #2. So I had reduced it to 20% but then I can not read anything because font size is too small. I also tried to increase scale size but that does not help either.
The problem persists with text size in other windows & right click menu even after increasing it to 225% as in images #3, 4, 5 shown here.
I have been using Win-7 with 12 Monitors but never had this problem.

(2) Out of 8 Monitors one monitor resolution is such that everything is too large like Text, images etc. If I connect that monitor to my older system there is no problem, so nothing wrong with monitor.

(3) In two monitors I have to forcefully push the mouse to go to another monitor.

Those using Windows -11 might have answers to some of the problems & some graphics card experts too might have a clue.

I know Scat must be smiling & just might have a solution.

Please help.

Thank You

4 to 6 feet from the monitors seems to be rather big.
no wonder you have to increase the font size (and perhaps chart candlesticks .....).

I am 3 feet from my 6 monitors (42" & 32").


have you tried changing
DISPLAY---> SCALE (100% to say 200%)

let's see if anyone can provide the solution to your problem.

Nope, not smiling. Sympathetic. Troubleshooting video issues can be a challenge.

Which monitors are you using? For most 24 inch monitors the native resolution still is 1920x1080.

I don't know about Windows 11, but with Windows 10 I could solve my video issues when I downloaded the NVIDIA drivers (and their control panel) from their support page.

Also increasing the text size to 225% could be just too much. For me with my setup 125% is the best choice in order to avoid problems.

Yes I did & I have mentioned it in my post. I tried several combination of Text size & Scale together but nothing helps.

Such a nice guy Scat. Thank you. I was fixed on trying 3660. This is just the beginning. I have not installed the Market apps yet.

While installing there was a microphone issue & Dell support spent 2.5 Hrs on Monday & 3 Hours on Wednesday troubleshooting the issue online but couldn't fix it. I just fooled around a bit & now it is working.

noted.

it seems like there are multiple problems with multiple monitors.

Microsoft / display card makers / display card ports .... are guilty of not fixing these problems.
The problem I have been facing is WINDOWS reshuffle after you lock (WIN+L) the computer.
This problem is due to the new Display Port DP.
so for the past 1 decade, every time I unlock my computer, I have to reshuffle the windows and I have to spend a few minutes doing that.

I suspect the major corporations are not using something similar to what we are using.
Perhaps they are not using Microsoft and not using the new D P port.

I am using Dell 24 inch ( 1920x1200 ) which I bought 10 years ago & still going.

Also increasing the text size to 225% could be just too much. For me with my setup 125% is the best choice in order to avoid problems

But that is Win-10. Win -11 is just PIA. With 125% you can barely read any text 4 feet away.

That's why there are persistent multiple problems with multiple monitors

I have been using 12 Monitors ( 24 inch, 1920x1200 ) for last 10 years with Win-7 & cheep AMD 512Mb cards without a hitch. So the problem could be Win-11 OR Video cards or something else.

4 to 6 feet away! That would be an absolutely deal-breaker for me.
