    How to make the resolution uniform across 3 monitors with 2 being different than the other.


    I have Dell Thunderbolt Dock with 3 monitors plugged in. The problem is I can't get the same resolution/scaling on all 3. My main monitor is different and higher resolution than the other 2. I feel like there should be a workaround to have them all at a standard scale.

    Monitor 1 main: OMEN BY HP 32" 2560 x 1440 display port

    Monitor's 2&3: HP E243 1920 x 1080 24" one is HDMI and one is display port


    When I try and adjust scale/resolution through the display settings it only allows me to change scale and display resolution for Monitor 1 2560 x 1440. The displays for 2 & 3 are "Frozen" at 800 x 600 and 100% scale. For clarity monitor 1 is great, but monitors 2/3's scale is way too large and not near as sharp.

    :)

  2. Display Resolution for two monitor have different settings

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    The display resolution depends on the monitors that you have plugged into your computer. The display resolution modes will vary with each display based on the video card device, monitor size, video driver, and monitor driver.
    By default, Windows chooses the best display settings for your PC based on your monitor, so it is recommended to set the screen resolution of the display to the (Recommended) native resolution to get the best display on your monitor.

    To have better clarity on the issue, let us know the model numbers of your monitors, so that we can provide you the exact display resolution which is recommended to your monitors.

    Meanwhile, try the below methods and see if this helps.

    Changing the Display Resolution from Settings.

    Step 1: Right Click on an empty space on the desktop and click on
    Display Settings.

    Step 2: In the
    Display Settings window, scroll down and click on 'Advanced display settings' option under
    Multiple displays.

    Step 3: Then, click on
    Display adapter properties for Display 1, Display 2, or
    Display 3; whichever monitor you want to change the resolution for.

    Step 4: Once the Display properties pops-up, click on 'List All Modes' option.

    Step 5: Select a display mode that you want for the selected display and click on
    OK.

    Step 6: Then, click on
    Apply and OK for the changes to take effect.

    If these steps don't work, try reinstalling the driver by opening
    Device Manager, right-click on the monitor drivers, and select
    Uninstall. Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the drivers.

    Hope it helps.

  3. 2 Identical Monitors Displaying Different Resolutions

    Hi, I have 2 identical Acer monitors displaying different resolutions and can't figure out how to resolve.

    Both monitors are attached to a Dell docking station via displayport cables. The docking station is hooked up to a Dell Latitude laptop via mini usb.

    The first monitor is displaying at 2560 x 1440 and the other is at 1920 x 1080. Any help fixing this is appreciated!

    How to make the resolution uniform across 3 monitors with 2 being different than the other.

    Different resolution for laptop screen/external monitor?

    In the first image, just the monitor selections 1. is the Laptop, 2. is the Dell monitor.

    In the second image, the drop down box for the laptop built in display indicates 1366 x 768 (native) one only.
    The Dell monitor lists various resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (native).
    It defaults to the native resolution, you could select a lower resolution and it would scale up or centre etc.

    But as I say it just does it. You may have to fiddle about with scaling as your aspect ratios are different.

    The third image is mine with your 1440 x 900 on the Dell, and it looks like the preview picture, horrible on mine but again it just works.

    You can do the same thing with the Windows Settings as the other images. It's the same thing.

    I just did it the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel way to be different.....
