  1. desktop resolution and active signal resolution


    I have my desktop resolution set at 1280 x 1024, which is what I want,

    but the active signal resolution is set at 1920 x 1080.

    Where can I change the active signal resolution to 1280 x 1024?

    I have tried going to "display adapter properties" and list all modes,

    but this only lets me change the desktop resolution.

    :)

  2. Incorrect active signal resolution

    Hello, I am having problems with the display resolution and would like some help on the matter.

    My setup is the following:

    - Screen 1: laptop screen - Native resolution 1920x1080

    - Screen 2: Dell monitor connected on a USB-C port using a DP adaptor - Native resolution 1920x1080

    - Screen 3: Samsung monitor connected over HDMI - Native resolution 1360x768

    All monitors are using the integrated Video Card - Intel HD Graphics 620 and my OS is a Windows 10 pro version 1803.

    I set the indicated resolution on each screen but the screen 3 is looking blurry. Go to "advanced display settings" and I can see even though the "Desktop resolution" is correctly set, the "Active signal resolution" is set to 1920x1080. From here I go to Display
    adapter properties for Display 3 and select a different mode with my resolution. Nothing changes.

    Sometimes I would take the laptop elsewhere and connect another monitor with a 1920x1080 resolution using the HDMI port, so I am guessing that somehow is still detecting the active signal resolution as that one, even though the monitors' models and makers are
    different.

    How can I force the "active signal resolution" to be the monitor's native 1360x768 instead of 1920x1080?

  3. Active Signal Resolution

    I am not familiar with the phrase "Active Signal Resolution", but if you are connecting an additional monitor, try using Win + P to select the mode that you want for the secondary screen, such as replicating the first screen or extending it. The screen
    resolution should be handled automatically by the communications between the display adapter and each screen, or you can change each one separately by right-clicking the Windows Desktop of each screen and selecting Display Settings.
