Viewing screen has shrunk

Carolinemhms — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 01:38:13 GMT

Twice our screen has shrunk. That is the screen you look at is not filling the whole monitor.

I fixed it last time using aspect ratio and resolution - this was after hours of trial and error.

I have tried again this time. I have been able to improve it but there are still black spaces at either end of the screen. The screen content is somewhat distorted too.

I have updated the driver.

I bought the monitor as a Samsung TV screen 11 years ago, on the advice of the salesman when I bought a HP desktop. We have a new desktop now and it has Windows 10 on it and the lastest Microsoft office and Norton virus scanner.

What else can I do.

I currently have the resolution set at 1680x1050 - this is the best view I am able to gt. I have tried all the other resolutions.

Carolinemhms, Thank you very much for providing that information.

Ok, in order to provide the Intel® graphics report, please visit the link below, in there, look for the option that says "Intel® Graphics Command Center", select it and then follow the instructions steps by step that you see on the page:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005848/graphics.html

Now, to provide the SSU report, please use the following link, select the "download" option in there and the run the file, follow the steps in the application until you get the option that says "Save". Save the file to your computer, it looks like a "Notepad" file, and then attach it to the thread.

To attach the files to the forum, once you select "Reply", look for the option "Drag and drop here or browse files to attach", click on "Browse" and choose the files that you saved on your computer.

Just to let you know, if the problem about the screen being shrunk happens with all the websites, programs and applications, it could be related to a setting or an option in the monitor itself, did you try to get in contact directly with Samsung Support to check the options of the monitor? That will be a good thing to try since some monitors have the option to under or overscan the display:

This is the report - I hope. Specialists need to remember that some members of the public are not very computer literate.
