To boldly go where no man has ever gone before.
I'm using my old tv as a monitor (27") for my desktop. Thing is, it only wants to show the desktop set at 1024x768. If I try it at a larger setting, my left side icons are almost invisible, Winstep is so small I can hardly click it, and NextStart (top dock) is flickering. Right side icons (Xtreme) are also so far to the right, it's hard to click them. Any one know how to get it to let me have it set to the recommended setting(1280x720)?
Full screen menu is fine... but done already of course.
But flat text on a perspective'd menu.. well, it just doesn't work.
Edit: C'mon, don't be that ol' guy now
just wondering, for all OS's and all screen sizes???
1366 x 768!!!!!
That's my res...wow.
How long, give or take, before it hits the front page.
Cursor done
It is when you only have disability as your monthly income ($1067.00 US). It's a Sharp television (27") but for whatever reason ever time I try to set it at the recommended setting, the icons far left are half missing Winstep Ultimate is hanging way of the bottom screen, and NextStart dock flickers like mad. Took me several minutes to get it back to 1024x768. Yes it's nice having it big (easier to see!) but really wish I could get it to work at a higher setting. That's the whole reason I decided to use it as a monitor. Have Acer Predator desktop running Win10 64bit. It has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card, so I know it can handle it. It's a gaming tower, didn't know that it was 2 hd's instead of 1 with 1TB. I can try and upload a ss so you can see what I mean.
NA yes I too will be buying as well. Come on first of the month!
@ Spicy Girl:
I get it, You seem to have a problem in the Resolution Settings for your TV and as I understand you use it because it's Bigger than a Computer screen..... Tricky, I thought we could just collect some cash for you to get a screen, but that doesn't seem to solve your problem since you use a TV for the actual SIZE. Hmmmmm.
Hey Peeps of the community... any suggestions ? Tv settings is a BITCH
@ SpicyGirl,
These days I too only get a Disability Support Pension, and yeah, it is really hard to afford things over and above food; rent; uilities and clothing, etc. However, I'm a real tight wad and will scrimp and save like crazy to get stuff I want, like electronics and computer related stuff. Quitting the smokes 10 years ago today helps alot, but I make things last as long as possible and only buy new if it can no longer be repaired. I recently had to throw out a 22 y/o pair of shoes because the uppers had recently come away from the soles and just weren't worth repairing. Their replacements: AU$19.95. from K-Mart.
Anyway, while it's hard, getting a luxury or two here and there is possible if you budget wisely and stick to it, spend only on what you must, and economise on everything. I recently picked up a 32" UHD TV for $260 because it truly was a bargain at 70% off RRP. It just means, though, that the new PC build I wanted to build later this year will now have to wait for another 6 - 8 months longer... unless I have a rich uncle with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana skin.
As for your 27" TV, if it is Standard Definition [SD], then your PC's graphics card will not display it at a higher resolution because it has fewer pixels per square inch, and thus items appear larger. That's why items disappear off screen and/or are unstable. To get a TV to display similarly to a dedicated PC monitor, it needs to be a 4k/Ultra High Definition one.
Depending on the graphics driver, the adjustment is done in driver settings.
For example, I run a radeon card hooked to my HDTV. The taskbar and tops of explorer windows would be off screen at 1920x1080. I use the overscan settings in Radeon config.
If it's and NVidia card, it's the "resize" option. Which has to be enabled, applied, then resized.
Now my resolution fits my TV screen.
