    1 of 2 new monitors not full screen


    I have a gigabyte MB with on-board graphics, 1 vga and 1 DVI as outputs.

    I have 2 new asus monitors with 1 vga input and 2 hdmi inputs.

    The vga to vga connection to monitor 1 produces full screen on 1920x1080 (recommended)

    Asus furnished a cable DVI to HDMI. This connection (monitor 2) leaves about 1/2 inch blank space on either side and about 1/4 inch top and bottom. 1920x1080 (recommended). 1280x1024 setting fills the screen, but display looks stretched.

    Any suggestions appreciated.

  3. my acer aspire laptop dosent detect external vga monitor .

    Hi Sivaram,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    1. Since when are you facing this issue?
    This issue might be happening because of the faulty drivers. That’s the reason you are getting intermittent connection on external monitor.

    However, you may try the below suggested steps.

    Step 1: Try connecting on a different monitor and check if the issue still persists.

    Step 2: Try using a different VGA cable to connect with external monitor and check the status of the issue.

    Step 3: Update display driver adapters

    You may refer the article
    Update drivers in Windows 10
    and check the status of the issue.

    Step 4: Check for an updated Video driver on the

    Acer drivers and Manuals page
    .

    For more information you may also refer

    Hope it helps.

    VGA signal

    Hi,

    For us to effectively assist you, we would be needing to clarify the situation first. Kindly provide the information we need below:

    • Can you confirm if you have purchased a new monitor since your previous monitor is defective?
    • Was the old monitor using VGA cable and the new one is only using HDMI?
    • Have you tried using a different VGA/HDMI cable to connect to monitors?

    Regards.
