I am running Windows 10, and recently had an issue with my monitor.  So I got a new HP Monitor, and everything seems stretched (see image below).  I tried adjusting the resolution, but the proportions are still distorted.  How can I restore the proper proportions to my screen?


Thanks,

Phil

I have a client that wants to use a large (>48" ) touch screen monitor as part of his presentations. He is the COO of the company and is in charge of all the project managers.

It would be a large wall mounted unit. He wants to be able to have it access files on the company servers. He wants to be able to display an EXCEL spreadsheet, among other file types and be able to move 'cell' contents around as the projects move forward.

I would be able to set up the computer its connected to and and the monitor itself, but am unsure what would be a reliable product for this use case.

Can you recommend a monitor that would full fill these requirements?

Windows 10 EliteBook does not find second monitor

I have an HDMI cable and got an adapter called:

4K * 2K ULTRA HD

But, when I plug it into the Samsung monitor, I only see the desktop of the PC displayed on the monitor.

So, I go to the laptop, right-click and select Display Settings.

But it does not detect a second monitor.

What am I missing?

Thanks

I am running a program (ValueCapper from Post Time Daily) that I have used for years on a desktop computer with a typical size monitor  (about 21" x 12") on my desktop.

I have a copy of the program on my Acer Switch 5 to use on the road and because the screen display has LOTS of information, on the 10x5 inch screen, the size is very difficult to read.

How can I "zero in" on one part of the screen (and hopefully enlarge it) to make using the program easier and more practical?

Sort of like having a "magnifying glass" to look at the data displaying in super-small type?

It seemed like this should not be a difficult thing to do, but I just haven't been able to come close to a fix.

Experts, what say you?

I used to be able to make my Thinkpad x270's  LED screen dimmer or  brighter by pressing the F5/F6
buttons on the keyboard.

However, for the last 3 days, pressing this buttons don't result in any change to the screen anymore
though a little bar on the screen pops up showing the bar moving (to lower or higher) : see attached
for this bar.

I don't recall any change that I've done other than there's Win 10 patches being deployed.  I have no
privilege to undo the patch.

What can I do pending getting help from our corporate end-user support.

I did not plug into external monitors/screens : I'm referring to the X270's built-in screen;  For sure
when I plug its HDMI to an external screen, F5/F6 wont brighten the external screen : will need to
press the external screen's Brightness buttons to adjust it

Hi Guys,

I am having an issue with a clients computer.
She is using dual monitors on Windows 10 and it is cutting off the top of applications, internet browsers mostly but sometimes even file explorer. The bit that is cut off is basically a mirror of what's behind it, so if one thing was open and desktop behind right clicking would give you desktop options.

Changing the resolution, then reverting it seems to intermittently fix it.

I have tried uninstalling the graphics drivers, updating windows/drivers, recreating windows profile, SFC, DISM also checked for virus' this is a new PC with Windows recently put onto it.

I also changed in Intel HD graphics control panel to scale to full screen, tried with the setting Override application settings and without.

Changed scaling on windows to 100% tried 125% tried setting a custom scaling.

Every single one of these seems to fix the issue, but comes back sometimes within hours or sometimes days.

Unsure what to try next, i was told and have read on a few threads that it is a windows glitch for dual monitors no one seems to have a fix though, apparently there was a hot fix for this but can't seem to find it.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Picture isn't the greatest, sorry, i can't seem to recreate it myself so this is all i have, but you can see where it is being cut off.

Many Thanks,
Adrian

Need an HDMI switch for two inputs to one output

I have one display and two computer, a MacBook and a Windows PC. So, I am looking at this device, since it gives me an option to even add a third PC:

My MacBook uses a Thurderbird port with a converter to HDMI.

My questyion is whether I would be imposing any capacity limits that could impact responsiveness on the display.

There arwe other options here, but I like the idea of three inputs and one output.

I need a VGA monitor for an experiment.

There is a VGA Connector on my HP ENVY dv4 laptop.  There is Intel Core i3 inside the laptop.

Is this VGA input or output?  Can I output graphics from my experiment board to this laptop monitor over VGA cable?

User was getting following error , I restarted the machine, message has disappeared and even though I can get display on two external monitors , intel graphic settings is not picking up external monitors , just the build-in display

Hello Experts

I have 2 PCs, both identical units, with identical add-on video card that support deal monitor in extended mode.

I just upgraded to Version 1809 and now I have two monitors, both displaying the same thing.

I've disabled both the onboard and addd-on cards; re-enabled only the add-on card and still the same.  I've uninstalled both cards (in Device Manager) and restarted both PCs.  Still mirrored monitors.

I looked at undoing the upgrade, but Windows indicates I'll lose programs if I do.  

I'd appreciate any assistance.

Thanks

hi guys

I have a Dell XPS 15 9570, with an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050Ti (4GB) graphics card. It also has an Intel UHD Graphics 630.

The question I have is, am I making the most out out of my display for performance? When I go in to the actual Nvidia control panel, I have attached a screenshot of what it shows. It hasn't selected the Geforce, but instead the Intel UHD?

I have a Dell Precision 3400 that's about 10 years old. In recent months sometimes when I boot up no video is sent to the monitor.
If I reboot it once it always starts displaying. What's the likely problem? Could I solve it with a new graphics card?

I want to connect my LCD TV to a laptop about 25-30ft away.  Stream movies.  Now its sitting right next to that TV and connected VGA and sound cables separately.
 TV has HDMI ports and laptop has a DisplayPort.  If I find HDMI to DisplayPort cable.  Would it carry a sound also?

Any other ways to connect wireless may?
