    External Monitor Resolution


    Last update, my laptop came back with the resolution of the external monitor set back to 1024x768, with its normal 1280x1024 not available to select. How do I get that resolution back?

    :)

    External Monitor with Quicken

    Hi Mark,

    It is possible that the display resolution automatically adjusts after connecting to an external monitor. For us to properly isolate this issue, we have some questions for you:

    • Are you experiencing the same issue even without using the Quicken tool?
    • Have you checked if the display resolution settings of the Surface device and the external monitor is the same?
    • Have you tried checking for a graphics device driver update?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done to isolate the issue?

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Dual Monitors, Keeping Same Resolution


    I have a laptop with a resolution of 1600 by 900 and I am connecting it to an external dell monitor to duplicate the displays. 1600 by 900 isn't supported on the list of resolutions after the monitor is connected, so I created a custom one in the Intel graphics properties after connecting the monitor. It seems to have set the custom resolution, however the laptop display still is blurry and does not look like it does when the external monitor is disconnected. Are there any other settings that need to be changed? I do not care if the external monitor is distorted, I just need the full resolution on the laptop.

  4. External Monitor Resolution

    External Monitor vs. High Resolution Laptop Monitor DPI

    I am running win10 on bootcamp of Macbook Pro Retina. The macbook pro resolution is 2560x1600 and I use 200% scaling in win10. The external monitor is 24 inch with 1920x1200 resolution and I set 100% scaling.

    The problem is that:

    If I boot the system with the external monitor connected, the external monitor is working correctly with everything on the screen clear and sharp. However the internal macbook pro monitor's fonts are very vague and bold, definitely not the same as it only.

    If I boot the system without the external monitor connected and then I connect the external monitor to the macbook pro, then the macbook pro's monitor works correctly, while the external monitor is quite blurry not sharp.

    Any fix or help for this problem?

    Thanks.
