If you are using a version of Quicken at the Quicken 2019 US R 19.44 patch level or newer and you have previously made the following Compatibility change, please undo the change.
Users of other Quicken versions please try the following:

• Close Quicken !!! (This process won't work while Quicken is running!)
• Check the Compatibility tab settings in your Quicken Desktop program icon:
• In the Windows Start Menu right-click the Quicken icon. Select "Open File Location". This brings up a Windows File Explorer window. Right-click the highlighted Quicken shortcut line item.
  or
• Go to the traditional Windows Desktop and right-click the Quicken program icon.
  or
• Use Windows File Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Quicken\ and right-click qw.exe
• Now click Properties.
• Select the Compatibility tab.
• Uncheck all settings.
• Windows 7, 8.1: Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". 
  Windows 10, 11: Click "Change high DPI settings".  Check "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and select "Application"  (also try the other available options repeating the entire procedure!). Click OK.
• Be sure to uncheck the "Run this program in compatibility mode for [older Windows version]" setting.
• Click the "Change settings for all users" button.
• Click Apply and exit.
• Reboot Windows.
• Now start Quicken and see if that makes a difference.

Some additional tuning suggestions:

• Try this workaround for 4k monitors
  https://www.quicken.com/support/work-around-display-issues-high-resolution-monitors
• System requirements: 1024x768 or higher screen resolution, 1280x1024 minimum for Large Fonts settings
• Unless absolutely required, try not to use "View / Use large fonts"
• Try setting the bank account registers to use a different font style or size: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, click the Fonts button and try different fonts.
• Try adjusting the bank account registers' row height: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, choose among the available Row Height choices: Compact, Comfortable or Standard
• If all else fails, try changing Windows Control Panel / Display options for "Make text and other items … smaller or larger" to use a different scaling level, but try not to exceed 125%
• Try using the Windows Magnifier. Press the Windows logo key and the = key to open Magnifier. Customize Magnifier to increment Zoom in 25% intervals.

FWIW, I have a G-Sync monitor and an RTX 3070. I have G-Sync enabled and do not have the issues OP mentions. But, and this could be significant, I only have G-Sync enabled for full-screen mode because that's the only mode I game in. I tried the windowed mode, and my Quicken still runs fine. Are your NVIDIA drivers up to date?
