    Second Display Monitor Resolution Greyed Out


    I switched out to a new computer a few months ago, and I still cannot figure this out. I used the same two monitors with my last Windows 10 HP computer, and my Dell monitor is locked in a low resolution with this new Dell computer. Everything is fully updated, including the graphics card and everything is showing right from the online sources I could find, so how do I fix this? The second monitor is so blurry and unusable if I cannot get the resolution changed. Below is some screen shots from my computer.

  2. second monitor resolution

    Everything worked great until I moved my computer. Now, I can not change the resolution on my second monitor. I am using

    Windows 10. The resolution bar, only on monitor #2, is greyed out. I tried switching the monitors but either one is stilled greyed out when used as #2. Monitor #1's resolution can be changed , no problem.

  3. Second monitor screen resolution problem

    Hi,

    For us to properly isolate the issue with your second monitor screen resolution, we would like to know the following:


    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?

    • When did the issue first begin?

    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you try resetting your monitor settings, and check if the issue still persists. You may refer to your monitor on how to reset it.

    We look forward to your response.

    Windows 10 doesn't show native display for second monitor

    Hi,

    In order to for your Windows 10 to show the native display for the second monitor, you may revert all screen settings back to default, and see if this resolves the issue. If it doesn't, you may try these steps:

    • Press Windows key + P.
    • If your monitor settings is on Duplicate, try choosing
      Extend
      .
    • If your monitor settings is on Extend try choosing the
      Duplicate
      .
    • Check the resolution if both monitors are showing the same resolution value.

    Let us know the result for us to assist you further.

    Regards.
