So, while playing Middle East with the TV set as your display, maybe have the Desktop scaling ON?
Well, it is on, by default, on both the laptop and desktop.
Sorry, what I meant to say was set your Desktop -> Display Settings - Scale and Layout to say 125% while playing Middle East with your TV.
It won't resolve why the two are different size, but at least you can enjoy the larger fonts and graphics with ME too.

Fixed. So here's what I did. I went to the shortcut for the Campaign Series and under Compatibility I checked Override High DPI Scaling. I didn't think to do this initially because I didn't regard 1920x1080 as high resolution.
Now the Unit boxes are the same size! Thank you Oberst Klink for pointing me in the right direction with your links. And thanks also to Crossroads! Really appreciate it guys.

Addendum: while the unit boxes are of the same size now, the original issue of making them larger and more readable for old eyes hasn't been resolved. I tried using the Windows settings to scale things up globally, and while it works for some parts of the interface the unit info box appears fixed in size. Would like to see it larger at some point.
Anyway, thanks again for your help and attention, and I'll shut up now. [&o]

I'm blind as a bat without corrective lenses, but I do like the crispness of the graphics at 1920x1200. Definitely an improvement over the JTCS fuzzy stuff, which somehow bothered my eyes more. Of course, more options are good to have.

Hi.
I can confirm this issue. The unit list is way too small for comfortable reading. I'm playing at 3840x2160 on 40" TV (Windows 10 64bit, NVidia graphics card) and while the rest of game interface is properly scaled - menus etc., unit list has too small font. I was trying with scaling options but without positive result. Setting down resolution to lower one gives blurry image and even harder to read - not native resolution issue. It is not a game breaker but I would like to use unit list window. I have perfect eyesight BTW.
With reagards,
Bart

Sorry to hear this, all I can say it works on my W10 64bit Desktop. I select 125% scaling, and everything scales just beautifully. I don't have a 4K display though, but a HD. What I've seen in the various gaming fora just keep on trying using different values until you hit the one that works on your particular 4K setup?

This is good info, by the way, does anyone else have difficulty at times trying to select a unit when you left click on it? Clicking on the base doesn't work, you have to click on the little person.
Just a thought

Bases are optional; you can toggle them ON/OFF. They are not an integral part of the unit; they are an accessory. So, yes, clicking on them doesn't suffice to select the unit. You have to click on the unit image directly.

Your Mileage May indeed Vary. Glad you've found a setting that works with your setup, gents [:)]
