Screen resolution
I have an Asus Zenbook laptop, running Windows
8.1. Screen resolution is set to 1920x1080, which is the recommended size. There's no external monitor, and I've never connected one. But programs are not seeing that resolution. For example, I used a test image in Irfanview, and a 1280x720 image took up the whole screen exactly. (Irfanview is set to show images at 100%.) I don't have Magnifier running, or anything like that. It took me a while to recognize this, because the screen looks really sharp and crisp, but as far as I know it's been this way since I got this laptop When I maximize a window, it takes the visible screen and doesn't overflow past the screen limits. This is Windows 8.1. Intel HD Graphics 5300. When I bring up Intel HD Graphics in Control Panel, display settings are Basic and Advanced, but when I click Advanced it says this display doesn't support any advanced settings. In Device Manager, the laptop's monitor is listed as "Generic PnP Monitor". I googled for this, but all I found was advice to right-click the desktop and select screen resolution. My screen resolution is correct. Out of desperation, I tried setting it down to 1600x900 and then up to 2910x1080 again, but that didn't help. If anyone can shed any light, I'll be grateful. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://BrownMath.com/ http://OakRoadSystems.com/ Shikata ga nai... |
