Photoshop + Eizo Monitor = Different Resolutions

Hey guys,

 

I have recently updated my setup and now have an EIZO CS 2740 as a mainscreen, and an ASUS MX 279 as a secondary screen. The Eizo is a 4k Monitor, but set to 1920 x 1080. But it seems, that this is not respected in Photoshop. All Documents in 1920 are within a 4k canvas. That means an Full HD Image at 100% fills just half of the canvas. I can zoom in, but then it gets blurry and pixely.


I have for instance the rendering window of Autodesk Maya on that screen aswell and if there is a 1080 Output and it is at 100%, it fills the entire screen. 

So what am I missing here? Is there any way to change this?

Thanks for any help.

My system:

MacPro 2019 | 2,5 GHz 28-Core Intel Xeon W | AMD Radeon Pro Vega II 32 GB | 256 GB RAM | 1 TB SSD | Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1

    Ok, so maybe I found a solution but it is still confusing. In the system preferences for the displays even though the 1920 1080 is chosen, the resolution in Photoshop seems to be native. If the "show all resolution" switch is activated, a whole bunch of settings appear and there is a 1920 x 1080 low res (whatever that means). But changing it to that setting, helps me to get my 1920 image shown at 100% filling the full screen. 
    I could not find any information regarding those two different variations of the resolutions (maybe 72dpi / 300dpi or something else) 
    If someone can clarify this, it would be helpful anyway.

    Thanks
