  1. Can't resize second display


    I am using the Surface Laptop 3 and a USB Type-C to HDMI adapter to add a second display. When I connect it, it sets the laptop display, which is physically half the size of the monitor, to be far bigger. This means when I move the mouse between the two, there is desync and an area on the laptop where there is no border at all.

    Can't resize second display 162350e8-bf62-4134-9422-0c81504801c9?upload=true.png

    Display 1 is the laptop, and Display 2 is the monitor. How do I set them to be the same size?

    :)

    moving and resizing

    Hi Bob,

    There may be several reasons why you are unable to resize or move applications after installing an update. To better assist you with your concern, we would like you to answer the questions below:

    • Does it happen only on one application?

    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel

      Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel

    Let us know how it goes.

  3. Second Screen Display keeps resizing.

    My second screen will occasionally resize to where there is unused screen space on the edges of the screen. I try and re-set the aspect ratio but it does nothing leading me to believe its on my PC's end. I then try it again in my right-click Display settings
    but the empty space is still there. It must be a deeper issue but I'm not overly savvy when it comes to deeper display setting. I don't even know where to look or start. Any help would be appreciated. I should add I'm not using pc monitors but small TV's.

    Can't resize second display

    4870x2 won't display at 1680x1050 at all!

    OK. Now I know what ur problem is. Step by step:
    1. Go to Catalyst Control Center
    2. Click on the word "Graphic" right on top left corner. It will display drop down menu
    3. Click on Display monitor and will see the list of monitor at near bottom
    4. Right Click the monitor and select "Configure". It will show up the window
    5. There will be 3 option to select. Select the middle one and then click on the tab which show the bar with 15%.
    6. Drag the bar to max, and the screen will stretch to the native resolution 1680x1050.
    7. Also click the tab with showing RGB drop down list and select the last one (it will change to image quality for pc).
    That's it. Good Luck.
