  1. Wrong Monitor Resolution. Tried everything. Getting desperate.


    I unplugged my PC for a few days because I was building a Pc for my friend and was using my desk area to set it up. Afterwards I plugged my Pc back in and low and behold the resolution was 600x400 instead of 1920x1080. I have heard of this issue before and immediately sought a solution to the issue. I have tried every online tutorial every message board fix and everything windows support could do for me. Drivers updates, drivers rollbacks. Windows updates, safe mode, I even did a reset with keeping my files and the problem was unchanged. Should I just nuke it and do a complete reinstall at this point? Please help me I am very desperate to fix this issue as I need my Pc for work. This is my final call for help.

    Have LG monitor but cannot get resolution of 1920x1080.

    in desperation as I was running EJS 8 steps I tried at Step 4 instead of "Uninstall Device" I selected "Disable Device" and Eureka! the recommended driver 8.970.100.9001 appeared.

    Problem solved! I have 1920 x 1080.

    Thanks, Bo

  3. 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

    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.
