Might be something to get you by until they figure something out. ]]> RE: Can a 4k monitor divide into 4 1080p screens? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#14 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 15:11:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#14 DisplayFusion If the laptop's HDMI out only allows for 1080, you might need a USB > DisplayPort adapter, like this one: https://plugable.com/products/usb3-6950-dp/

Note that some USB > DisplayPort adapters support 4K resolution but only at 30Hz, which isn't great. This one does 4K at 60Hz. ]]> RE: Can a 4k monitor divide into 4 1080p screens? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#13 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 20:24:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#13 DisplayFusion Is there some sort of adapter required or second video card in order to boost the video output of a laptop? My laptop has hdmi out, but it appears to only output 1080 / 4 splits rather than 4 x 1080 splits on one 4k monitor. ]]> RE: Can a 4k monitor divide into 4 1080p screens? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#12 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 15:58:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#12 DisplayFusion We haven't made much progress on that yet, sorry

Alternately, is there any way to accomplish the following: I'd like to full screen a flash video player in each of the four virtual monitors so that I can have a football game from watchespn.com full screened in each of the four virtual monitors. Basically I just want a way to watch four 1080p "full-screen" videos at the same time on a 4k screen without any of the browser chrome (tabs, etc.) showing. ]]> RE: Can a 4k monitor divide into 4 1080p screens? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#10 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:54:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#10 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion can't scale the content no. It will resize the window to 1920x1080 when it fits it to the split. ]]> RE: Can a 4k monitor divide into 4 1080p screens? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#9 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 12:23:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#9 DisplayFusion I'm not sure that I fully understand how DF handles 4 1920x1080 screens on one 4k monitor. Normally when a window (in Windows) is reduced from full screen the content visible in the window is reduced, in other words the content is not scaled along with the window being reduced.

Does DF scale the content as well as the window? I know that Windows allows the adjustment of the dpi but I regularly use some specialised software that scales very badly when the default dpi is changed.

Your guidance would be appreciated.

Just hold Shift when maximizing the application

There are only a few programs that do not follow the splits (Mainly MMC.exe management consoles) ]]> RE: Can a 4k monitor divide into 4 1080p screens? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#4 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 17:33:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#4 DisplayFusion Not at the moment, as it's not technically possible

If we're able to find a way to do it in the future though, I'll definitely let you know.

Thanks for your reply... is the full screen windows being constrained to each split something your working on?

Cheers,
Craig ]]> RE: Can a 4k monitor divide into 4 1080p screens? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#2 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 19:17:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/can-a-4k-monitor-divide-into-4-1080p-screens/?ID=5e585dc9-6fd4-4934-96d2-7270d9ed19da#2 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion can indeed split it into four separate 1920x1080 sections, each with their own taskbar, wallpaper, and screen saver. You can do this in the Monitor Configuration > Splits and Padding window.

The only gotcha is that DisplayFusion can't constrain full screen windows (games, videos, Power Point presentations, etc) to a specific split. They will always output to the full display.

The other gotcha is that there are some issues with splitting and DPI scaling levels higher than 100%. We're working on those as well

I am looking at buying a phillips BDM4065UC 4k monitor but would like the option of splitting it into 4 seperate 1080p screens using DisplayFusion.. is this possible?

Thanks,
Craig ]]>
