8. I think that fixed it.

It's back to looking right again.

I changed to using only the TV, got the resolution like you recommended, and the display is much better. Then I went back to both displays and the computer changed the TV resolution to match the monitor, which is what was stretching the picture. Changing the TV resolution back to 1366x768 held and now it's keeping the aspect to what it should.

Thanks a whole bunch!

Plus I learned something that may make it possible to use my Windows 10 computer the same way. I tried the 10 on the TV while the W7 was in the shop and couldn't make it work.

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

If you're using Win 10 canetoad Apr 2022 #5

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

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
