Hello, I have 2 screens, the main one at 1440p, and the secondary one (on the left) at 1080p. I have 2 problems:
- The 2nd screen having a lower resolution, let's say I move the mouse from this screen, all the way to the top right, to the other one, it doesn’t land all the way at the top left, but slightly lower. The problem is worse the other way around; if I want to move from the 1440p screen to the 1080 one and I make a mouse movement all the way to the top left, it gets stuck, and I have to move it down a bit to be able to pass. It's very counterintuitive. Basically, I would like my lower resolution screen to scale with the 2nd one.
- The other problem is that in Windows 10, you can in the display settings scale the text and windows for each screen, with predefined percentages (100%, 125%, ...). But if you want to use a custom percentage (e.g., 101%), it applies to both screens. Long live ergonomics!
Have a good evening.

I finally found the solution, so to set up 2 screens with different resolutions (on Windows 10), you need to:
-first enable "virtual super resolution" in the graphics card settings (NVIDIA or AMD control panel) on the screen with the lower resolution.
-then in the Windows display settings, select the low res screen, then choose the same resolution as the high res screen.
-finally, choose the correct scaling percentage
Edit: If you have screens with a refresh rate above 60hz, make sure to reset this setting
right-click on the desktop -> display settings -> select the screen -> "display adapter properties" -> monitor tab
