    Monitor 2 changes size based on display option one screen, extended, etc.


    Monitor 2 is set as primary screen, which is ok. When I set display option to monitor 2 only, the screen looks fine and everything is ok with size. When I click on Extend option, screen 1 is correct and screen 2 gets larger and goes slightly off the screen. I am using windows 11. I also look at the display settings and both screens still have the correct resolution settings. What is causing this and how can you fix?

    :)

  3. Extending equal sized displays on monitors

    When extending my open page into monitor the page is enlarged more than twice the size. How do I manage my monitor and computer to show equal size image in both screens?

    Unable to extend monitor display

    Hi Jay Jap,

    thanks again for your reply.

    I checked the screen resolution settings through windows and then through the Nvidia graphics cards.

    Windows detected both monitors but Nvidia settings didn't.

    I downloaded and installed the Nvidia drivers again and it's working fine. Simple solution, not sure why I had to install the drivers again? But thanks for your help, your suggestion to check if the monitors were being detected prompted me that it had to
    be a graphics card issue.
