We have built PyQt5 application using PyCharm IDE and executable created using pyinstaller. The application was built on a monitor with a display resolution of 1536 x 864, here the labels and buttons appear properly. But when the executable is run on a monitor with display resolution of 1920 x 1080 - the labels and buttons appear overlapping.
Based on the similar question on stackoverflow, I have tried the following suggestions
if hasattr(QtCore.Qt, 'AA_EnableHighDpiScaling'):
QtWidgets.QApplication.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.AA_EnableHighDpiScaling, True)
if hasattr(QtCore.Qt, 'AA_UseHighDpiPixmaps'):
QtWidgets.QApplication.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.AA_UseHighDpiPixmaps, True)
the above status were added just before
APP = QApplication()
as well as
os.environ["QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING"] = "1"
os.environ["QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR"] = "1"
os.environ["QT_SCALE_FACTOR"] = "1"
But on the higher resolution screen it is not showing the widgets properly
This issue is only seen when we run the executable file, if we run the project via PyCharm on the higher resolution screen it works fine.
Any suggestions on how to get the executables running on all screen resolutions.
Screenshots of low resolution display settings
And the UI run from the executable on this screen looks like
The date fields and the buttons are all visible clearly
Now the screenshots of high resolution laptop
And the UI run from the executable on this screen looks like
See the source code for the above UI

The UI images has scroll bar but in code I have removed it - removing the scroll bar did not have any impact on the dpi issue.
