Windows 10: How to change Active Display Mode ?

I have Gigabyte G32QC , Initially when i connected it with my MSI Pulse 17 over HDMI port , it was delivering me 144hz at 2560 x 1400 but currently i saw that the Desktop Mode Was set to 2560 x 1400 but the Active Display Mode was set to 4k 3840 x 2160 at 60hz . I want both to be same so i can have the same resolution as before so it provide 144 hz . I checked all the list modes under Advanced Display Properties but could not found out mine . Tried to provide Screenshots but it keeps saying failed to upload.

Forcefully changing "active signal mode"

Hi Austin,

I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

On System->Display->Advanced Display -> Display adapter properties for Display 1 -> List All Modes you don't change the active signal mode, on you only list the modes that the display supports.

A way to change it is on the Graphics Adapter Control Panel. Depending on your hardware and where the display is connected you will find it in the Nvidia Control Panel, Intel Graphics Command Center or Adrenalin Software.

What do you want to achieve changing this setting?

 

Forcefully changing "active signal mode"

Hi there.

I've been through all the forums and the proposed solutions have not worked for me.

I need to find a way to change the active signal mode of my display (not only desktop mode).

I have made sure my display driver is up to date. I have tried changing the display through System->Display->Advanced Display -> Display adapter properties for Display 1 -> List All Modes. And I've done this by changing the display adapter a couple of times, back and forth, and no luck.

Can you please let me know if there are any alternative methods?

 

Unable to change active signal mode

Hello, hoping someone can help because this has really been bothering me for a while! I have windows 11.

The issue is that I am not able to use my laptop with my projector.

I have bought 3 different connectors and I can use them with other projectors so they are not a problem. But when I press 'duplicate' or 'extend screen' nothing happens.

I think I may need to change the 'active signal mode' but I can't. I have gone to System - Display - Advanced Display - Display adapter properties for display 1 - list all modes - and then I change it to a different resolution. However, this changes the Desktop Mode, not the Active Signal Mode. So how do a change the active signal mode? Or what may be the reason why I can't use my laptop with my projector?

Really hoping someone can help me!!!

Many thanks,

Holly
