Using Serato DJ Pro with high definition displays

Serato DJ Pro supports high resolution displays. Ensure the Hi-Res Screen Display option is enabled under Setup > Library + Display:

Enabling this option will place a higher overhead on your system performance, and may cause issues with lower spec'd computers. You will need to restart Serato DJ Pro after enabling this option before it takes effect.

Below are some further options if you choose not to use the 'Hi-Res Screen Display' option, although it is recommended.

macOS

  1. Open System Preferences (or System Settings) and click Displays.
  2. Make sure the Display tab is selected and click on Scaled next to Resolution.
  3. Click on the Larger Text option to increase the size of elements on your screen - this should make Serato DJ Pro easier to use on high definition screens.

Windows

There are two separate options to change screen size in Windows, DPI and Resolution. You will need to adjust both the resolution and DPI independently (find a balance depending on your display) to achieve a good size for use with Serato DJ Pro.


To adjust DPI:

  1. Right click on an empty space on your Desktop and select Display Settings.
  2. Click on the Change the size of text, apps, and other items drop-down under Scale and layout to change the size of text, apps, and other items (try a higher scaling percentage to increase the size, eg. 300% looks good on 4K displays)

To adjust resolution:

  1. Right click on an empty space on your Desktop and select Display Settings.
  2. Click on the Display resolution drop-down under Scale and layout
  3. You can now choose an appropriate resolution for Serato DJ Pro. Use these options in conjunction with the DPI scaling to find the best resolution for you
