@N0AGI Sorry! This seems to have fallen off our radar. Does this issue still occur for you?

Which Windows Terminal version are you using? What GPU is the 4K monitor connected to?
Could you try to enable "AtlasEngine" in the "Rendering" settings if it isn't enabled yet?

Hi @N0AGI. Have you tried the suggestions @lhecker proposed above? Also, what's your display scaling set to for this monitor?

This issue has been closed for a while. If you'd like to report that this hasn't been resolved, can you please include more details about your system? For instance, Windows Terminal version, whether AtlasEngine is disabled in the Rendering settings, your GPU model, your driver version, etc.
