Hi Zubyan, I have 3 displays (display 1: laptop screen, display 3: mirrors laptop screen, display 2: extends the display). Display 2 and 3 are the same monitor. Display 3 is providing a good display from corner to corner. Display 2, expanded to 100%, doesn’t utilize 1 inch on the right and the left. Please see attached for screenshot of dxdiag screen (both displays show the exact same info). Note that the screen that is working better is connect via a VGA, while the screen not displaying the entirety of the screen is an HDMI.

Please advise and thank you!

Please let me know the model number of your monitor and send me a screenshot of your DxDiag page so that I can check which GPU you are using.

  1. Press and hold the Windows key then press the R key to open the Run program.
  2. Type “dxdiag” and press enter.
  3. Head over to the “Display” tab and then give me a screenshot.

These solutions involve being to see the screen to effect a fix. I can see only the top 1/4 of the screen. Bottom 3/4 is black. Computer will not shut down or turn off. Screen turn-off (X) that I can see is inoperative. Where do I begin to get screen back?
