Screen resolution of large monitor not appearing not so it cannot be selected

I have a monitor with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050.  I was not able to find this setting by using the properties/settings screen with windows xp or 7.

How can I fix it? Is this a feature of the graphics card? I used two different computers with it with the same problem - a xp and the other 7.

Any particular resolution requires four things:

A monitor that supports
A driver for your monitor and your version of Windows that supports
A graphics card that takes in charge
A driver for your graphics card and the version of Windows that supports supported

You have the first of these four. If you have the other three I

  • How to set the screen resolution to fit monitor

    original title: monitor

    I have a large screen, but it seems as if it was a waste of money because I don't get to use the middle of the screen. Can someone tell me please how to get full use out of my monitor? do I need some sort of version beta or something?

    Your description is not very clear, are the main steps to configure your display:

    -Make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card & monitor installed Windows 7 .

    -Search in the manual of your monitor and find out what the native resolution & refresh rate are for example (1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz), then go to:

    Start-> Control Panel-> display

    and together that view you these settings.

    -If you have black borders around your screen, you should increase the size of your screen through the software installed normally with your graphics card. For a basic card ATI look for a feature called overscan/underscan. Look for the option to increase the size of the desktop in the nVidia Control Panel for nVidia cards. For othe graphics cards check support manual/website for advice.

    Hello!

    Have you tried to update the display on your laptop driver? Check the Toshiba site for an update:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
    And what operating system are you using? Have you installed all Windows updates?

    For external LCD, monitors, you must set the screen refresh rate of 60 Hz.
    And if you want to change the resolution of the screen, you must select the second monitor in the graphics options on Windows.

  • Second monitor not detected Windows 8

    Hi all

    The title pretty much everything said. Windows 8, two monitors to flat screen of ACER, HP pc, worked fine. I went to the control panel and although both monitors are on and work the 2nd is not detected. By clicking on "detect" a small window shows "another view undetected."
    The display on the second monitor as I said is on, but the mouse pointer does not move on the 2nd monitor and my desktop icons that were there is now on my 1st monitor. I tried to update the software for graphics card and monitor software as well, both are up to date.
    I tried to contact Microsoft Support, but I guess that there was a problem of mass with the update because I can't seem to online or over the phone.
    I tried to restore the computer to its last restore point, but that did not help.

    Can anyone suggest a solution?

    Thank you very much

    Original title: update 2nd monitor is not recognized after the last windows of nights.

    CORRECTION *.

    Reinstall the drivers worked. I didn't know what I had to do was desempilement monitors and place them side by side in the Panel. (Right-click on the display, the screen resolution, drag a monitor so that it is next to each other instead of one on top of the other)
    There is just a nut loose on the keyboard here. (ME)

  • Choose the screen resolution, or customize the font size 125%?

    About to buy 2 new larger monitors.

    Currently have 2 20 "1920 x 1080 running to the font size of 125% of W7 - poor old eyes now need more large text/icons/menus etc, but still need to see the same or more things on screen - so more large monitors reqd.

    In my opinion, to my laptop, which runs 125% or 150% can get down certain pages of fall off the screen, so can not scroll or reach the buttons.

    2 questions:

    It is best to run strictly to the font size of 100% (default)?

    If so, then I need to choose the size of the screen and the resolution to give the desired size of the text/icons/menus 100% font size.

    For my calc, 27 "1920x1080s clocked at 100% of W7 WD gives even font size size text/icons/menus on the screen as if this 20" went to the font size of 135% of W7. This cd (135 vs 125) be the extra size that I need.

    Or shd I get 27 "2560x1440s and W7 just crank up to 125% or 150%?

    Personally, I use 115 dpi and 125% zoom page

    This is a sweet spot for me it down personal preference and a combination of the two,

    Too much dpi dpi of 125% is a little too for other programs to follow or use, I found.

    But using the default dpi 100% and 150% zoom seems to just break up of clarity of the text, unless you up to dpi as my example the custom of 115% PPP,

    Increase the dpi literally means that you can use the page zoom, less

  • Can't change my screen resolution - Windows 8 PRO

    I have computer LAPTOP Compaq Presario A900 in which I installed Windows 8 Pro. After the installation, I'm not able to change my screen resolution. When I right click on the desktop, and then select the screen resolution, it is written in the resolution 1024 x 768 (recommended)box. I can't change the screen resolution. In Device Manager, I tried to update my Generic PnP Monitor driver, it says that your driver is up to date.

    This Device Manager cannot find generic drivers.  I recommend go to the Compaq website and download all the drivers for your model laptop (same drivers you already have, bring here to ensure that you have the latest version of the non-generic), but above all, including the graphics driver.

  • Get an overview of Windows 10: 2560 x 1440 screen resolution missing

    I am running the most recent image of the W10 Pre x 64 under VMware Fusion on a MacBook Pro 15 "(mid-2012 7.1.1; Yosemite; Lightning monitor).

    Everyting in German.

    So far no problem.

    The only thing that is massively annoying me is that exactly the native screen resolution of my monitor (2560 x 1440) missing which is not the case with Windows XP Home edition, 7 or 8.

    I found advice on Internet how to add screen resolutions to previous versions of Windows (Vista, 7), which are essentially based on the registry changes.

    However, here I have failed, since I wasn't able to locate in W10 all the necessary registry entries.

    Microsoft have them or if they are simply isn't more/still present.

    I have not observed this Windows 8.1 with pre W10 x 64 running under VMware Workstation.
