Windows 10: Blurry image on 2nd monitor on extend display

While my laptop was connected to my TV with an HDMI cable, it used to work normally on the extend display option, yet, as i raised the resolution display option for the TV to 1920x1080 for the first time, as opposed to the recommended 1366x768 which was the option used on both monitors before, the image became really blurry, and unlike some other people i've seen with a similar problem, it's not just with external apps, windows app and even the desktop itself are displaying a very low quality image, while the laptop's monitor is still normal, no matter what. Even as i reverted to the usual 1366x768, and even attempted other resolutions, it still didn't go back to the way it was. There's also a weird zoomed in effect now, with the image not quite fitting inside the TV's aspect ratio, cutting half of the taskbar and hiding the top window buttons.


I've attempted many things, from changing the scalingwhich has always been 100% and never been changed, updating the video card drivers, messing around with the TV's settings, rebooting many times, yet nothing seems to work.

With the duplicated displays option, strangely enough, it works just fine, yet the extended display now always makes the TV monitor display a terrible image while the laptop's monitor is just fine.

how to extend display on new monitor windows 10

right click desktop>>display settings

scroll down and select extend to this desktop, go up and apply.

click on the 2nd monitor icon and do the same for it and apply. restart PC.

If you want #2 monitor as the #1 MAIN monitor, then drag the #2 monitor icon left to the #1 position and restart PC.

I also suggest to set the resolution for both displays the same.

 

Blurry Apps on second monitor

Hi and thanks for answering.

Are you sure you read my question in the first place ?

I have no issue accessing my external display. I'm running a laptop with a high-dpi monitor, that is extended to a standard-dpi 22" monitor, and here's what my problem is :

- my high-dpi monitor is showing most of my apps fine (legacy windows apps are blurry, but that's not a big issue)

- what's more of an issue is this : when I drag any app that is not a native Windows 10 app (ie : Google Chrome) on my extended monitor, it shows up blurry. Only native Windows 10 apps are showing up crisp and clear on my extended monitor

I tried upgrading my Intel HD drivers and performed a SFC, but none of these steps solved my issue.

How can I solve my problem ?

Thanks
