Windows 10: Unable to set correct resolution with second display attached

Whenever I connect my second display, I am unable to set my main display to 1440x900. I'm using a Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+

Unable to set correct screen resolution.

Hi,

As you have already updated the display driver, I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the Display driver. Follow the steps mentioned below to uninstall the display driver.

• Open Device Manager.
• Expand Display adapters.
• Right-click the display card driver and click
  Uninstall.

Now download the display driver from manufacturer’s website and install it in compatibility mode:

Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• 
  Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.
  
• 
  Right-click on the driver setup file and click on
  ‘properties’.
  
• 
  Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
  ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.
  

Once this is done, restart the computer.

Hope this helps.

 

Monitor is detected but display resolution is not correct


One of two possibilities:

1. Driver is still not correct, as you don't have the listed resolution to go to recommended for that monitor. If it is using a driver win 10 installed and not the manufacturer, then you need to try the manufacturer driver, list the display driver from device manager and we can go from there.

2. Card in PC (Is it a card, or integrated mainboard graphics?) doesn't support that resolution, hence driver not listing it, etc.

Other possibility - what does the system show for the monitor listed in device manager?

 

Windows 10 unable to change correct display resolution

I am unable to correctly display my screen resolution. When changing the resolution under the advanced windows settings it seems to display some of the lower end settings correctly but when selecting the recommended 1920x1080 the display is incorrect
and appears to be about 1600x900. I have tried multiple reboot/ safe mode, uninstall nvidea drivers/ reinstalled drivers, removing and installing the physical nvidea 650ti card without success. It was working fine for couple months, then changing between
some application that changed the resolution it won't return to normal. Suggestions?
