You can do it all through display settings (Settings/System/Display).

Two diagrams of monitors at top of page. One or the other should be darkened. This is the active monitor.
Scroll down until you come to Scale and Layout. Whichever monitor is darkened (highlighted) is the active settings.

The optimum resolution for each monitor will be marked. (Recommended). They can be changed independently.

I'm not close enough to the monitor, or the TV to have changed a button directly. House of Roberts Apr 2022 #2

If both your screens are 16:9 aspect ratios, 1024 x 768 is not a good choice. Make7 Apr 2022 #3

That may help eventually. House of Roberts Apr 2022 #4

Addendum to my post above canetoad Apr 2022 #6

It was the resolution that must have changed, House of Roberts Apr 2022 #9

You should be able to change their resolutions independently. Make7 Apr 2022 #7

I think that fixed it. House of Roberts Apr 2022 #8

Glad to hear it. Once you get the settings where you want, you might want to take notes. Make7 Apr 2022 #10

if it does 768 then it should do 1080 Paige_Turner Apr 2022 #11

I needed the lower resolution to make type bigger. House of Roberts Apr 2022 #12
