  1. Old Win10 Laptop and Ultra wide Monitors


    I have a i7-5500U laptop with 6 GB ram with onboard video HD Graphics 5500 Windows 10


    I recently added a ultra wide screen to my computer and want to add another.


    The first problem is that if my computer shuts down after hours when I try to reboot or wake it I only get a purple line across the top of my computer.


    I a have to unplug the HDMI cable and hard reboot to recover. Is this a firmware issue?


    The second problem is I only have the one HDMI port no video ports either.


    How do I correct the purple line/lockup?


    And how do I add a second ultra wide or is that even possible with the older laptop?

    :)

    Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter and Ultra-wide monitor

    Is there any body, who can properly project from a PC/ laptop to an 3440x1440 external Ultra-wide monitor using Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter?

    PS: "properly" means the Ultra-wide monitor runs on 3440x1440 resolution mode.

    Multiple desktops side by side in Ultra-Wide??

    With Ultra-wide becoming more prevalent this is a must. I want to be able to do what you can do with multiple monitors, but with a single display that is ultra-wide. Imagine being able to run a program in 'full-screen' with the benefits of a seamless border
    but not encompassing the entire screen space. It would also make accessing the menu and apps just as easy as when separate monitors are used. Basically emulating multi-monitor displays but on ultra-wide.

    Ultra Wide monitors (21:9 ratio) doesn't work on Windows 10

    Hi deanerino

    Do you have an ultra wide monitor connected to your Surface, when only those resolutions appear?
