Windows 10: How to use 800x600 resolution on monitors currently on the market?

I have two monitors that are 1280x720. I'm using software that is older and has no newer versions that have pictures on it that appear small. I want to use a lower resolution to make the pictures appear larger, but the lower resolutions have a different ration between length and width. How do I use a lower resolution without stretching the display? Is there a way to show the display on only part of the screen in order to avoid stretching the display, so that some of the length of the screen is not used. That means if I set the monitors to 800x600, 267 pixel length of the monitor would not be u

Hi,

I am using HDMI cable to connect, the screenshots are from the laptop that is experiencing problem.

I tried using other resolutions from list of modes, it works only for resolution 800X600 and lower.

Any idea on why this might be happening? Please suggest what else can i try

Hello Nachappa C K

Thank you for your prompt reply.Unfortunately I have not been able to

resolve the issue.

I went through the following routine:

rt click desktop>display settings>display>advanced display settings ....

this gave 4 choices only 1600x1200, 1280x1024, 1024x768 (default),

800x600. I tried them all, no error messages, desktop icons varied in size

but all were still out of proportion.

I did not try advanced sizing of text .. as it is not the size that is the

problem but the aspect ratio (if that is the correct term)

Nowhere could I see how to change the resolution to 1920x1080 as you

suggested.

I should mention that I had no problem with win 7

I would be grateful for any further assistance you could give me.

Regards

Tony
