0How to Fix Screen Resolution Problem Windows 10/11 [Easy Method]
Sometimes when you connect a monitor to a Windows 10 PC, things just seem a little off. If your display size and resolution aren’t what they should be, here are a few common causes and fixes you can try.
In this tutorial, we’ll be focusing mostly on issues related to external monitors, but if you’re having issues with the native display on your laptop or Windows 10 tablet, check out our tutorial on how to adjust the screen resolution in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Resolution settings in Windows 11 decide how detailed images and text appear, but scaling determines how it all looks on the screen. No matter what resolution you have set for a monitor or TV, Windows 11 scales the display to fit everything on the screen, even if it has to add scrolling and up/down arrows, such as in the taskbar where it shows icons for active windows.
When the size of the text and objects are too large or too small for you to see on your Windows PC's or tablet's display, it can become incredibly difficult to use.
This tutorial will walk you through making sure your display settings are configured just right to make it as easy to use.

You can connect an external monitor to your desktop computer or laptop through an HDMI or a VGA cable. Depending on the number of HDMI and VGA ports your system has, you can connect multiple monitors to it. After connecting an external monitor to your desktop computer or laptop, you can play games, watch movies, and do your work on a screen larger than your laptop’s built-in display. Windows also lets you set different screen resolutions and scaling levels for different monitors or displays.
It is not necessary that the screen resolution problem occurs only on the external display, you may also experience the same on the built-in display of your laptop. In this tutorial, we will see how to fix screen resolution problems in Windows 11/10.
