Windows 10: Win 10 desktop, Sanyo 40" LED monitor, resolution maybe not supported

I had a 21 inch monitor that worked fine with my Win 10 desktop. I recently purchased a 40 inch Sanyo LED monitor. It is 1080p.

Windows suggests running the resolution at 1920 x 1080. Icons are off the edge to the left and right. The Time and date on the task bar are off screen to the right.

I changed the resolution to 1680 x 1050 and moved the icons back onto the viewable part of the screen/desktop.

When I open any software window, most the move bar at the top is off the top of the screen. Same with folders most of the time. I can resize, but when I close that one, or open a new one, its off the top of the desktop.

Is there a setting I can change to fix this ? Or do I need to get a PCI Express version 2 video card to give me better choices for screen sizes ? Or is there some other method I am missing ?

Thanks.

Sanyo TV as Monitor - Resolution options not High Enough (Windows 10)

When I upgraded my PC to Windows 10, the screen seemed to be zoomed in. I can no longer see my task bar or the borders of my screen. I tried to max out my resolution but it doesn't seem to go high enough. Is there a way to zoom out my main screen?
I run a 32 inch Sanyo LCD TV (HD) as my monitor.

 

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?

 

Monitor resolution

Hi,



Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Community.



I understand that you are facing issues with screen resolution. I will try to help you in fixing the issue.

To help you suggest more steps to resolve the issue, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:



What exactly happens when you try to change the screen resolution? Do you get any error message?



The recommended resolution on windows 10 is 1920 x 1080. Change the resolution to 1920 x 1080 and check.

The reason why your display was stretched sideways is because the resolution was in-corrected.



Here are the steps to change the screen resolution:

• Right Click the Desktop and select
  Screen Resolution.
• Click the Make text and other items larger or smaller link.
• In the Change only the text size section click the
  drop down menu to select the items you want to change.

Hope the information was helpful
