  1. My games are running in smaller resolution than I have set.


    In desktop its all okay,butt when I go in the game this problem is in all of my games it looks like a lot smaller resolution.Basically when I have 1920x1080 it looks like smaller resolution, when I have 2650x1440 it looks little bit worse than 1920x1080, and 4k looks like 1920x1080.My pc: Lenovo Legion 5 prospecs:Legion 5 Pro AMD Gaming Laptop Lenovo PhilippinesI just want to say that I know that 1920x1080 looks bad on QHD monitor. But this happens to me on my 1920x1080 monitor and I tried multiple monitors but still the same problem. It looks the worse in far its not that bad on close .

    Screen smaller and resolution

    Hello JerryXia1,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    As you are facing issues with the screen resolution, I would suggest you to change the display settings.

    Method 1: Change screen resolution

    1. Open Start, select Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings.
    2. Under Resolution, select a new value. We suggest you stick with the resolution marked “(Recommended) ”

    Method 2: Update Display drivers

    Follow the article to update the drivers from Device manager- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028443/windows-10-update-drivers
