Windows 10: N246v Monitor Resolution

I have an old sve14135cxb laptop that I use in my office. The screen on it was yellowish so it sits on a keyboard try beneath my desk and I use a N246v monitor for viewing. However, each time I boot, the machine uses the native laptop resolution of 1366x768 instead of the monitors native resolution of 1920x1080. So I have to reach down, open the lid on the laptop for about 2 seconds then let it close, at which time it will correct itself to the monitors resolution.

Is there anyway to make it boot to the monitors resolution? The monitor stays connected to the HDMI port.
Is there anyway of refreshing it other than opening the laptop lid?

Monitor resolution

Hi,



Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Community.



I understand that you are facing issues with screen resolution. I will try to help you in fixing the issue.

To help you suggest more steps to resolve the issue, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:



What exactly happens when you try to change the screen resolution? Do you get any error message?



The recommended resolution on windows 10 is 1920 x 1080. Change the resolution to 1920 x 1080 and check.

The reason why your display was stretched sideways is because the resolution was in-corrected.



Here are the steps to change the screen resolution:

• Right Click the Desktop and select
  Screen Resolution.
• Click the Make text and other items larger or smaller link.
• In the Change only the text size section click the
  drop down menu to select the items you want to change.

Hope the information was helpful
