I was looking for something in settings that might show the complete movie name while in the POSTERS View and could not find one. Nor could I find where anybody asked about it when searching through previous questions- but I am SURE this must have come up before - right?
Are you requesting a feature be added to Plex? It looks like you are asking a question, not doing a feature request.
There is no setting that I have ever found to do what you are asking.

This is a Feature Request - but only because I couldn’t find it either. And - I would have been about 95% sure this was already dealt with. Apparently not.
I fully expected somebody to come back and tell me I was just blind in not seeing the “Show Complete Title” checkbox somewhere.
You need to modify your title and post - see here https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/220049328-Forum-Community-Guidelines (scroll down to Feature Requests) to see how it should be posted. The lost itself sojnd slike a question, not a feature request, more details on what you want would be helpful, perhaps a mock up of how the screen should look.
It doesn’t show the entire title to save room and keep everything in a grid.
If you are having trouble seeing what movie is what, you can change the title to help you. Just make sure you leave the sort title in tact and everything will still be in order and searchable. Since you showed Star Wars, here’s how you can make that look.
You will see that Episode 4 is showing in front of Episode 5 because the sort title is still fully intact. This is helpful for if you have multiple versions of a movie. You can change the sort title to have “Director’s Cut” or “Extended Version” at the beginning of the title but leave the sort title as it is. They will then still be grouped by each other. The issue you would have with that is that you still will not see the full title. I tend to use abbreviations for stuff like that. So if I have a Director’s cut of something it should show as “(DC)Aliens” or the extended version would be “(EX)Aliens” but the sort would still be “Aliens - Director’s Cut” and “Aliens - Extended Edition”.
Hope that helps.
