Resolution Problems

Jesse Williams · 12 May 2018

My Acer desktop’s monitor has resolution problems. I tried my best to fix it. It’s better than it was. Now, the text just seems too large as well as other features.

I hope someone can help!

Thanks!

Did you change Scaling for it ? What's the resolution ?

@CountMike: The resolution is HD (1366 x 768). I didn't change the scaling in Windows. I left it 100%. If I change it to a higher scaling percentage, it makes the text and display larger. It's an Acer S200 HQL monitor.

This one ? S200HL | Monitors - Tech Specs & Reviews - Acer
It's natural resolution is WSXGA (1600 x 900)

@CountMike: Yes, that’s it.

See what happens when you set it at 1600 x 900, text and everything should be smaller.

Everything is back to normal now. Thank you so much!

No problem. For the future, it's easier to control it by Scaling. Many programs including desktop itself can make size changes with Ctr + Mouse wheel up - down.

@CountMike: Ever since I had the resolution issue, the following message pops up. Also, when I turn on the computer, the monitor is set to autoconfig and the splash screen looks big still except for the Windows interface. How can I fix this?

That message is understandable, it's informing you that higher resolution is available. Must be driver function. What happens if you mark "Don't show this message again" ?
