Windows 10: Sony TV Monitor

How do you adjust screen size on the tv monitor so I can see the tool bar?

Resolution on a Sony Bravia TV used as a second monitor

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I bought the Sony Bravia in 2008. It is a model KDL-42V4100. Like I said before it was working as a second display monitor just fine for 6 months.

The major symptom is that the colors being displayed are reversed. White is black and vice versa. Blue is blue. Others are mixed. There is some blurriness especially with a video, which is the primary intended purpose.

I looked at what you mentioned. I replaced the Wide Angle Flexview 2880x1620 driver. This is being used by the primary laptop from what I see. This was not a problem, but I noticed that an update was available. I am using a 2880x1620 resolution, as that
is what Windows 10 recommends.

The secondary TV monitor is using the Generic PnP Monitor driver. Windows says that it is the current driver and is working properly. There is another odd symptom. When I have the TV connected and I go to System -> Dsiplay - Advanced Feature - the box with
the monitors shows only one monitor. When I click on the Identify button the same number shows on both the laptop monitor and the TV.

You mentioned checking the HDR settings. My display settings say that I am using SDR.

My plan of attack is as follows:

1. I have a second Sony Bravia. I will connect the laptop to that one and see if the behavior is different. That TV is a few years newer and internet capable. I need to be careful on my timing for this activity, as that is the TV the wife watched her soaps
   on.
2. Reinstall Generic PnP Monitor driver even though it says there is nothing wrong with it.
3. Continue to browse the net.
4. Consider buying a new laptop.
5. ......

 

Resolution on a Sony Bravia TV used as a second monitor

I connected the laptop to the second and several years newer Sony Bravia and it works like a charm. This is basically good news. I do not want to switch over to that TV on a permanent basis, as that would be quite disruptive to the overall scheme of things
and I am moving in 6 weeks. Guess I will have to suffer through watching my videos on the laptop monitor for a while.

Difference between the two TVs is that the newer one is a true Smart TV, whereas the older one is just a HD flat screen. Still it would be nice to get the older one working

All in all, I should be happy that the laptop seems to be out of candidate list for being part of the problem.
