Windows 10: Removed second monitor. Can't get correct resolution. "Input signal out of range"

I removed a second monitor from my wife's computer. Now the only monitor has the wrong resolution, displays the message "Input signal out of range" and goes to sleep after about a minute.I can't adjust the resolution to the recommended 1920 x 1080 it doesn't appear in the menu of options.I've tried rebooting, uninstalling the driver and rebooting. No action that I can think of has any effect.Can someone help?

INPUT SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE while playing Wizard 101

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

• Since when are you facing this issue?
  

This happens if the signal from the video adapter exceeds the scan range of the monitor. The video card is feeding the monitor a signal stream in excess of what the monitor can accommodate. The two main causes for this are that either the resolution
or the vertical frequency is set high.

You may try the troubleshooting steps listed in HP and Compaq Flat Panel Monitors - Flat Panel Monitor Displays Message about
No Signal, Signal out of Range, Sleep, or Power Save and check if it helps.

Windows 10 'Input Out of Range Error' solved on my pc.

I had this issue for a few days and did not find anyway of a resolution. I finally started to troubleshoot myself, since nothing online would help. I have a three monitor setup.

Steps:

1. Right click on desktop background.

2. Click on display settings.

3. Click on Advanced display settings.

My desktop resolution and active signal resolution were different. The active signal resolution was larger than the active signal resolution.

4. Click on Display adapter properties for Display 1, 2, etc.

5. On Adapter Tab click on List All Mode.

My input out range mode said to change to 1680 x 1050.

6. Click on a range lower than what the the monitor resolution is.

7. Click OK and then click apply.

8. Click apply changes.

9. On Adapter Tab click on List All Mode.

10. Select the resolution the monitor is capable of handling.

11. Click OK and then click apply.

12. Click apply changes.

Now the input out of range should be removed from the screen. It worked for me and hopefully it works for you.

 

Monitor - No Input Signal

So you are suggesting that in the event this cable goes for a six, I try out the HDMI port? Seems quite a tenable suggestion - I never thought of that!
