Windows 10: SVGA second display issue Intel Mobility HD3650 incorrect resolution

Greetings all, first-time member (hope I posted this in the right place and in accordance with the social norms of this community) I apologize for any perceived literary mania, but Windows sometimes makes me insane with the episodic crusades that I have to go through just to do something as simple as opening a directory LOL. *Huh

But to preface this in a more serious manner, I have just acquired a "rescue" HDTV that I want to casually use as my secondary display, and it seems to be perfectly functional (possibly discarded simply because of an upgrade), and it seems to be in good working order by every means from which I can test it by, so I am assuming that there is no known dysfunction within the HDTV itself. It's greatest defect is a slight bruising of the LCD matrix that only shows up on the blue scale, but otherwise barely-observable and not relevant to this issue, with the given exception of a curious "burn-in" from one of my displays that is beyond coincidence, as I can see icons that only I would have arranged that way, but only in the far-right of the screen. *Think

I have two similar machines with two separate issues (or should I have a thread for each? If so, then let's assume the first one...I'll call it "T61", and the second is "T500", but they are close cousins of each other). I posted these issues together in case someone might see a relative issue between both of these machines.

On one of my Lenovo laptops ("T61") with only an integral video card, it can mirror the display (after cherry-picking resolutions in Windows display settings), yet there is an apparent "zoom" (projected video borders are outside of the viewable area of the HDTV display). Is there a registry hack where I can manually code a specific resolution so that I can potentially match the HDTV and mirror the primary display perfectly? I can calculate a relative 16:9 resolution, I just want to match the resolution so that no "real estate" of the display is lost. Is there a way to make this work, as the display drivers from Windows are essentially inept at managing displays.

On the second machine ("T500", before poly-mimetic alloys were created to go back in time to stop Sarah Connor), plugging in the SVGA to the HDTV results in a black display (actively displaying black, no data) yet the mouse driver appears to work because I have a functional cursor arrow (essentially a mouse over a black screen with no content). It appears as if Explorer has not loaded, but on the HDTV the mouse is not visible even if the display is extended for the ONE time I was able to access display settings. My question for this one is whether it is possible that this video card may be damaged, or is it a driver issue? This video card can run OpenGL 3.1, yet the drivers from MS actively disable it and Intel has censored any driver that could support it on this card as if it was critically-sensitive government information regarding the existence of The Matrix or something...Am I just dealing with a crippled video card, or is this actually a driver issue, as I suspect?

Any help on this is very much appreciated, and I promise you that I didn't have to cram any smoke back into anything just to make this post. *Biggrin*really

Dell SVGA Monitor does Not Work

None of the suggestions worked.

Even depressing the Windows key & W did nothing.

Had no issues moving from W7 to 8 to 8.1.

Why not W/10?

Still looking for a solution.

 

W/10 - Dell SVGA Display does not work

W/10 does NOT seem to support my Dell SVGA monitor with my Dell laptop. Cable connection is SVGA (display) to USB2 (laptop)
