Do not buy a 4K Laptop if you plan on using 2nd Monitor

Question

Vectorworks  Does not handle a second screen when used with a 4K laptop using Display Scaling.

 

I have a new GT75 MSI laptop with a 4K display. Set to 200% scale

second monitor is a LG 3440x1440

 

as soon as you drag Vectorworks to the second monitor it crashes and you have to end task.

 

I am forced to only use the second monitor and turn off the laptop display if I wish to use the wide monitor.

 

Buyer beware until they can figure out how to handle display scaling

I don't have the crashing issue, but even on a non-4k display I end up with scaling issues with the second monitor at 100%.  It grabs the scale from whichever monitor the main window is on it seems, which can throw off the pallettes on the other.  I run my secondary monitors at the same scale as the laptop display, 125%.  Does that fix your crashing issue if you set your off-board to 200% as well?
