Hey folks I've been looking for a day trying to solve this but have found no solution, I'm hoping someone can reproduce it.

I am using the hardware under my name to a 3840x2160 (60hz) monitor over displayport, iMac 14,2, nVidia web drivers, on Sierra.1. I am using an Ozmosis bios which works fine.

Everything seems to be working okay (relatively) with the exception of iBooks, oddly enough.

So someone do me a favor, go to gutenberg.org, download a free book in epub format (some Shakespeare or similar, learn something ;)). Open it up in iBooks and see if it works on your 4k monitor?

This is what I get...

All of these books work on my real macbook air and my iPad just fine, including iCloud sync. It's only my hackintosh desktop that does not work. I also see a random black bar moving around the iBooks interface when I look at my books as a list. This seems to be a window manager flaw of some sort, but I can't figure it out. I have deleted all of the iBooks preference files from my home folder and re-downloaded my books/documents, but the problem remains.

The only other oddity I see is the system report sees my monitor as 1920x1080 which is obviously wrong. This has not affected any other applications that I've noticed...

I have tried setting ibooks to open in "low resolution" mode but that doesn't make a difference.
