Windows 10: 2 monitors, unable to get same resolution

Similar to this: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-10-shows-different-resolutions-for-the/1da8ec59-5714-405d-905a-40936118cf94I moved within my office and got 2 new identical monitors. One's display res is set at 1600x900 which is fine but the other's max is 1280x720 so looks huge and blurry till I zoom out. These are the Dell monitors with the built in "dock" so everything is hooked up through monitor #1. Obviously this is a Windows bug, so how do I fix it?

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

 

Unable to change the Display Resolution/Aspect Ratio on 2nd monitor.

Hello Alfredo, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

I understand that you are unable to change the resolution of the second monitor;

What exactly is the model and manufacturer of your graphics card?

Before answering the above question I suggest you try to decrease the monitor's refresh rate;

When lowering the refresh rate check if the resolution of the second monitor can be changed;

See you soon!
