how to change display size to fit screen size

Hi Judith, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

There's three possible reasons why your display is smaller than your screen size:

- Incorrect monitor settings

- Wrong refresh rate

- Screen resizing settings are off in graphics software

If it's the first reason, you'll need to access your monitor's settings using the buttons on the screen to adjust the screen size. Most modern monitors have an auto-adjust feature that you could use.

If your PC is a laptop, the above won't apply, so see if you can change your refresh rate.

- Click Start and type "View advanced display info" and click that result.

- Click "Display adapter properties for Display 1"

- In the monitor tab, see if a different refresh rate makes a difference.

Otherwise, you'll need to adjust your Nvidia or Radeon or Intel graphics settings to the right screen size. Let me know what brand your graphics is and I'll give you the next steps.

Thanks!

 

Size of display on screen

Hello

Thanks - I have tried this but I don't think this is the problem.....

If I follow these steps: control panel-personalisation-display, customise your display it then says "change the size of text, apps and other items" and this is set at 100% which is recommended.

However, with it set at 100% all the icons on the desktop are too small and when I open outlook the emails are very small to read, but if I open a webpage e.g. the Times newspaper, everything is the correct size but the page doesn't fit to the edges of the
monitor screen like it used to.

So If i go back into control panel - personlisation etc and set the size of text to 125% (it won't let me set it anywhere between 100% and 125%), this makes the desktop icons the correct size, and emails are readable, but when I re-open the Times newspaper
online everything has become too large and yet the page still doesnt fit to the edges of the monitor screen!

Any further suggestions?
