'Out of Range' error setting up dual monitors
I have a brand new digital HP Windows 10 laptop connected through a HDMI to VGA adapter to a 1680x1050 resolution analog monitor and I want them to work as dual monitors. In 'Display Settings' menu laptop's screen appears as monitor 1 and the analog monitor as monitor 2.
Well, the thing is that if I run 'Show Desktop Only on 1' or 'Show Desktop Only on 2' in 'Display Settings', both monitors look perfectly but when I click on 'Extend This Displays', monitor 1 (laptop's screen) continues looking good while monitor 2 (analog monitor), with the same '1680x1050 (recommended)' resoluton set in 'Display Settings' as before, its image narrows on the screen, with blurry text and a 'Out of Range' monitor error.
Do you have any ideas to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Solution 1:
I have finally solved it. In fact, it was very simple but I had to know a few steps to solve this issue :
- Right Click on the home screen > click on display settings
- Go to the bottom of the window and click on advanced display settings
- Click on display adapter properties for display 2
- Click on the last tab intel HD Graphics control panel
- On the Display select options choose monitor
- On the Scaling select options choose Customize Aspect Ratio
- Click Apply :) , that’s it
