look like this on your computer? Well, if you have a high resolution display (QHD+, 4k, etc.) on your Windows PC, there’s a fix for that.

Over at , someone having a similar issue posed the “how do I fix it” question because holy cow, that’s hard to read.

I’d been struggling with it myself for about a year and never had much luck fixing it. This fix however, fixed not only my Java app issues (specific to webOS Quick Install and Nova Device Installer) but also fixed other apps that don’t scale well like 7zip (by making the change to the 7zip exe).

Here’s the fix:

  1. Find java.exe and/or javaw.exe likely found in C:\Program Files\Java\jre(version#)\bin.
  2. Right click on it and select -> Properties
  3. Go to Compatibility tab
  4. Check Override high DPI scaling behavior.
  5. Choose System for Scaling performed by:
  6. Click OK

Launch your java app and tada!

      Plex unusable on webos
      By Lgrump
      Is it just me or is the plex app just unusable on webos.  When I try to select dvr items with the magic remote they just don’t play.  I am not sure if this is a plex issue or an lg webos issue.  Anyone know which it is?

      LG TV strange connection issue
      By Frederik Kordiak
      Hi all, so I have 2 LG OLED TVs at home and I am connecting them to 5GHZ Wi-Fi, no problem until yesterday. Suddenly, I am not able to use the apps (Netflix, IPTV, Disney etc.) and both TVs are showing connection issues. The same Wi-Fi works on my PC and mobile though. So I tried connecting using a different Wi-Fi with my hotspot and both TVs worked again with no problems. I tried restarting my router many times and my provider said there is no issue on their end, but I am not able to use the home Wi-Fi anymore. 
      Have you seen this before? Is it possible that my provider blocked my LGTVs from accessing their network?
      Thanks

      How do I access a hard drive connected directly to my OLED TV from my computer?
      By WhyNot
      Hello,
      I connected an hard drive to my LG OLED TV via USB. My TV is connected to my home network via Ethernet, as is my computer.  
      I would like to access the hard disk from my computer. Is this possible? How can I do this with Windows 10?
      Note that I don't want to connect my hard drive directly to my computer but to my TV (because my home network is quite unstable).
      I thank you in advance for all your help.

      How to fix can not download User Agreement for new OLED TV
      By TimtheToolMan
      We just purchased a new LG WebOS TV OLED 65" and running the setup through the app or the TV remote says it can't load the user agreement. This is blocking us from getting to streaming apps like Nexflix or any smart functions like Voice assistant.
      TV worked fine for a few days but voice assistant stopped working and after much effort LG tech said to  Reset to Initial Settings. Now we have mentioned no smart functions. TV is on ethernet and its browser functions on web fine. Tried running off neighbor's wifi with same results.
      Tried switching to different country, unplugging/hold power button for 20 seconds/wait one minute,  resetting TV multiple times, setting up remote again, ...
      Error message: Unable to Load User Agreements  A server error has occurred while downloading  the User Agreements. You must download and agree to the terms of the User Agreements to use this feature or application. Do you want to try to download them again… Unable to Load User Agreements  Sorry, but the User Agreements  can't be downloaded at this time…Please check your internet connection and try again later.    No change when trying over five days.
      Now there is no local company available to service TV. Maybe it's time to send it back and give LG TV a one star rating. I am willing to change motherboards but doubt if LG would go along with that.
      Anyone have any ideas.

      Display volume value when changing volume ?
      By Harlock
      Well it's more of a question, but if it's not possible then it's a request
       
      When I change the volume the TV displays a + / - menu on the right, but it doesn't show what the current volume is. Sometimes when you start a video it seems too quiet, but that's not the volumes fault... so you crank it up and then the whole place explodes...
      If it could display some kind of visual meter for volume, or simply a numerical value...
      For some reason when connected to the bose soundbar there is a numerical value, but not on the switch, Home OS screens or firetv... all those are stuck with the simple +/- symbol. Is it possible to change this ?
