  1. How can I tell Windows the physical size of my television?


    Hi everyone. I will try to explain what I am attempting to do. Thank you all who offer any tip or help.

    I use programs such as CorelDraw.

    I notice that on my old computer monitor, a 22 inch 1080 HD, when I zoom to actual size, and hold a ruler up to the screen to compare to the program ruler it gets pretty close to actual size. I guess this is because the computer knows the dimensions of the monitor since it uses a specific driver for that model of monitor and so it can display an image very near what I would expect when I print my images out. What displays on a monitor may not print properly but at least sizes can be gauged.

    On my 42 inch 1080 HD television, which I changed to using a while back, everything seems the same, until I zoom to actual, at which point an inch is almost two actual inches long. In my monitor description area within the display settings it says TSB-TV, and this is a Toshiba, so I guess that is the right one. However, it seems this same name applies to any Toshiba TV which is probably the problem. Windows has no way to tell if my TV is 22, 42, or 82 inches diagonal. It could be anything.

    Is there some way of using the registry editor or another path to tell Windows this particular Toshiba TV screen is 41.83 inches diagonal? Right now I have to zoom to 62% in design programs to get it to be actual size with a ruler held up to the screen, so it clearly thinks my TV is a different size than reality.
