  1. Resolution setting is grayed out in Display Settings. Windows 10 laptop with external monitor


    Hi

    I connected my windows 10 laptop to a V7 D22W12 monitor.

    The driver of the monitor is Non-PNP Generic.

    Maximum resolution of this monitor is 1680 x 1050 But I only have 1366 x 768 option and it's grayed out. How can I get the maximum resolution?


    This is how it looks:

    I checked resolutions on Advanced Display Settings. It looks like this:

  2. External Monitor and Laptop Monitor Screen Resolution Issue


    Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings (at the bottom). Select the monitor you want to change the resolution on, then change the resolution setting in the drop down list.

    Different resolution for laptop screen/external monitor?


    Hi there. I dual monitor, but on a tower (see my system specs below).

    I think this may depend on your graphics driver and build.

    If I open Settings app > System > Display > I get this to highlight either monitor to change either one. This is in extended mode. Some settings get greyed out depending on highlighted monitor.

    Resolution setting is grayed out in Display Settings. Windows 10 laptop with external monitor

    No display on laptop's external monitor-Monitor recognized but blank


    After the recent Windows 10 update, my wife's laptop no longer displays on the external monitor. All was well before the update.

    I am comfortable that Windows sees the monitor because clicking on Display Settings shows two displays. If I unplug the HDMI cable, only one display is shown.

    I have confirmed that the monitor works by trying it with another laptop. I have also changed the HDMI cable between the laptop and the external monitor.

    Device manager reports that I have the latest display driver installed.

    I would appreciate any and all suggestions.
