windows 10 recommended display settings 1360 x 768

iamthenugget · 28 Jun 2017 at 13:40

as per title just changed the pc from a small monitor to a large lcd 1080p tv and its defaulted to 1360 x 768 as recommended display. whenever i try to choose 1920 x 1080 it looks massively zoomed in and unusable.

any suggestions how to fix it

TIA

Try changing the text size or resetting it back to 100% zoom?

its already set at that. problem is when i change the display to 1920x1080 its all zoomed in and distorted. ccc shows that the tvs maximum resolution is 1920x1080p it just wont format correctly to the screen

What TV do you have?

the one in the picture is a cheap one made by baird

auto, full, 4:3, 4:3 stretch, 16:9 and 16:9 stretch.

i have tried all the various settings and none work.

the xbox one and 2 laptops all display correctly on the tv which has confused me

if the pc wont list 1920x1080 as recommended then its nothing to do with the aspect ratio.

what model tv and how is it connected?

it does list 1920x1080 but is oversized when its selected

the tv supports 1080 as you can see in this pic

Nah then you can't do it. None of those options include a 1:1 ratio

Although from second part I don't know why the xbox or laptops work fine.

im assuming that they are all working fine where as on the pc there is some sort of problem.

You have ATI overscan slider somewhere.

Yeah that makes no dif the display is massively stretched

iamthenugget · 29 Jun 2017 at 12:13

little update. the PC now does not select 1920x1080 nor 4096*2160 on the small cheap tv or the big living room tv however when i plug it into any of the childrens smaller 24"tvs it displays 1920*1080 prefectly.

tried uninstalling the amd drivers etc.

do you think a fresh install of windows 10 would do the trick

IN all honesty, if it works on other screens, I would be looking at getting the one having issues with replaced.

???? you do realise i said that everything bar the pc works on the screen. i cant go replacing tvs just because 1 out of 8 or 9 devices dont work on it

Sometimes, hardware is just incompatible. Use the drive sweeper for AMD, and reinstall the drive with the problematic display connected to see if it corrects anything.

No need to get shirty my friend

No one's getting shirty at all just pointing out the not so obvious

Shall give it a try this evening see how I get in tho
