Windows 7 lg wide monitor wont change resolution full#
If you can't change the actual resolution that the game runs at, you'll want to look for this setting somewhere in your display/video options and change it so apps will be stretched to full screen.

I realize this is 1080p but i have a wide screen monitor and it cuts out quite a bit of the screen. However the monitors resolution wont go higher than 1920×1080.
Windows 7 lg wide monitor wont change resolution drivers#
Most video drivers have a setting somewhere that controls whether to scale full-screen apps to the maximum size of the screen or to show them at the native resolution. Installed graphics card, installed latest drivers.
The first thing you'll want to try is increasing the video resolution in the game's options.

If this turns out to be a universal problem, the Book (which I otherwise very much like) is going to be demoted to my secondary machine and I will go back to the SP3. I'd really like to hear that somebody else is successfully driving an ultrawide monitor from a Book, because that would give me hope that my machine can be used as I want to use it. I also get two- to four-second blackouts on the external monitor every two to five minutes when the display is loafing and much more frequently when scrolling through large web pages or moving from tab to tab.
The random nature of these problems is making it hard to diagnose an underlying difficulty. For Windows guests, to use DirectX 9 accelerated graphics, the guest operating system must be Windows XP or later. You can use the multiple-monitor feature when the virtual machine is in full screen mode. Sometimes I can extend the displays from Book screen to LG, but mostly I have to choose between Screen 1 and Screen 2. You can specify monitor resolution settings, configure multiple monitors, and select accelerated graphics capabilities for a virtual machine. There are additional problems depending on whether I plug the monitor directly into the Book or run it through one of the display ports on the Surface Dock. Display settings allow me to call for 2560 x 1080 (recommended) but Apply won't change the display and I get the red-letter message that the settings cannot be saved. On the Book, it won't display at a res above 1920 x 1080, which leaves black areas left and right on the screen.

When attached to my original Surface Pro and my later SP3, the monitor functions perfectly at max res of 2560 x 1080 and works either as a primary or extended display. I recently picked up a 34" LG monitor and have had nothing but disappointment from it when attached to a Surface Book.
But why can't Microsoft just build a damn dock that would let the screen run properly without forcing the customer into buying extra adapters? (Especially after selling me an adaptor that couldn't cut the mustard in the first place.) Display duplication, extension, and the screen 1/screen 2 choice all work fine now. Blackouts are also much reduced, but I have experienced one in the 10 minutes I have been exploring screen functionality since getting the new connection established. In order to make full use of the connectors and cables already on hand, there is also an HDMI > MD 1.2 adapter in between the HDMI cable coming out of the monitor and the mDP adaptor plugged into the Surface Dock. FIXED: I finally have full width 2560 x 1080 display after substituting an ACTIVE mini-DP adapter for Microsoft's own mDP adapter.
