The question of changing the resolution of the display and the selection of its optimal value is quite sharp before the starting Windows users. Today it will touch his decision, considering several different ways out of the situation.
What is permission
Usually, the screen resolution is called the size of the image in pixels formed on the display. It implies the value relative to the physical dimensions of the matrix: the number of pixels is divided on the physical size of the display in inches. That is, the number of pixels does not increase in proportion to the physical display of the display, which immediately dispels the myth: than more screen, the greater its permission.
Changing permission may be required after re windows installations Or drivers on a video card if its value is not automatically exhibited. Also expand the screen is necessary when playing games - not always the subroutine correctly define the resolution settings in Windows to apply them to the game.
SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM IN WINDOVS 7
Change the resolution value (the number of pixels vertically and horizontal) on the computer can be several methods.
Integrated in Windows Function
To expand the screen in Windows 7, perform a list of simple actions with which any newbie will cope with choosing the optimal number of pixels used to display the picture on the display.
- Call the context menu free from the icon of the desktop area and select "Screen Resolution".
The second method to open the same window is the control panel element called "Screen". Click on its pictogram and select "Setting the screen resolution".
- In the same line we choose the desired value From the list of proposed.
- Click "Apply" to evaluate the selected settings.
Follow the monitor's developer advice and select the optimal value of the parameter recommended by them. Near it, the inscription "recommended" is always bangible. If there are two to three items in the list, check if drivers are installed on your video card. Without them, it will not be possible to change the permission to a higher than 1024x768.
Driver video card
If you have an installed driver for a video adapter, you can change the extension using the software running along with the driver. And U. different manufacturers Video skips These programs will differ, but the principle will remain the same, and the algorithm for changing the expansion value is almost identical.
nVIDIA
When using more rapid and, as a result, expensive with the same performance, video cards from NVIDIA, change the resolution will help the device control panel of the device.
- Call the context menu of the free space of the desktop.
- Select the item highlighted in the screenshot to start the settings window of all kinds of video cards.
- Deploy the "Display" menu item, where the link shown below.
- When using multiple monitors, select the target for which we want to change the settings, and determine the permission value.
As already mentioned, you should choose your own permission secured in the first position.
- Apply new parameters and close the window.
If there is a video card developed on the ATI graphic chip from Radeon, we perform such actions in Windows 7.
- Call the context menu of the desktop and click on the first point of the drop-down menu or open the application by means of its pictogram in the tray.
- Click on the button "Display", then click "Advanced Settings".
- Select the desired parameter or insert it manually (which is also allowed) and we save the changes.
Third-party applications
In addition to the proposed options that are considered to be classic, there is a possibility to change permission through special programs. These are utilities for configuring the monitor, acceleration and configuration of the video card.
Consider how to do in the application to overclock the video adapter called PowerStrip and the program designed to set the performance characteristics of the display.
- Run the PowerStrip program in Windows.
- Drag / pass the slider, located in the "Resolution" frame.
- Click "Save" to apply parameters.
Screen resolution determines how much information is displayed on the display. It is measured horizontally and vertically in pixels. With low indicators, for example 640 × 480, less elements will reflect on the screen, but they will be more. When the 1920 × 1080 resolution, the monitor displays more elements, but they smaller. Permission modes for each display are different and depend on the video card, monitor size and video driver.
How to make a resolution of 1920 × 1080
On a note! Windows 10 integrated support 4K and 8K displays.
By default, the system selects the best display settings for a computer based on its monitor.
Optionally, you can manually change the screen resolution on Full HD for each desktop.
How to change permission on Full HD
Below we will tell how to change the permission on Full HD for each individual desktop, as well as all windows users 10.
On a note! Sometimes an attempt to change the image display quality may result in the application tiles attached to the starting menu, will be empty. If this happened to you, the restart of the conductor should help.
In general, the entire screen resolution change is reduced to the following steps:
Step 1. To open the display settings, run 1.2 or paragraph 3:
Step 2. If several displays are installed on your PC, select one from the list (for example: "2"), the resolution of which you want to change (see the screen snapshot below).
Note! If all your displays are displayed, click on the "Detect" button. So Windows will try to find them.
Step 3. If you are not sure which number has a specific display, click on the "Determine" button (on the screenshot below). So the system for a short time displays the number of each display. However, this feature appears only when connecting multiple monitors.
Step 5. Select the screen resolution of 1920x1080 or Full HD.
Step 6. Select Display Mode and Screen Resolution (Custom).
Step 7. If multiple displays are connected to the computer, and you want to change the screen resolution for each of them, repeat the aforementioned step 4.
Step 8. Upon completion, you can close "Parameters" if you want.

- In the window you will see the created permission, click "OK", then "Apply".
You installed the required resolution of 1920x1080 on your computer.
On a note ! The item to create permission may have a different name. It depends on the video card installed on your computer.
Video - How to set screen resolution 1920x1080
As a rule, the maximum resolution modern monitors Exceeds the 1920x1080 standard, if any are the owners of a large screen diagonal (from 25 "and more). Monitors with a small or medium-sized screen diagonal of an older generation can support standards 1600x1024, 1140x900, 1366x768, 1280x1024. Limits of its monitor or a laptop display in terms of it. Permissive ability It is necessary to know in order to avoid problems with installing the value unsupported. The maximum possible screen resolution is specified in the instructions of monitors and laptops. Usually after installing the video driver, the desired screen resolution is configured automatically and in the system settings. windows screen This is recommended.
But not always the video driver automatically selects the optimal screen resolution. In such cases, without manual intervention, to install the desired permission in the system settings or using the video driver manager, as a rule, either Catalyst Control Center, or "NVIDIA Control Panel" - can not do.
1. Right and incorrect ways to configure screen resolution
Screen resolution tools operating system You can configure by calling the context menu on the desktop and selecting the "Screen Resolution" item in the case of Windows 7 and 8.1.
In the case of Windows 10, in the context menu, you need to select "Screen Settings", then - " Extra options Screen.
Here, in the context menu on the desktop, as a rule, the command of the video driver manager is also present. In its window, you must search for a configuration tab to set the screen resolution.
It is desirable to change the screen to change only in the system settings or inside the video driver manager. And not with the help of various third-party programs providing such an opportunity. Whereas the Windows screen settings are also protected from applying a screen resolution monitor (a new resolution is previously being tested for a few seconds with a preset return option to source value),
third-party programs And the game new permission can be applied immediately, without prior testing. And sometimes even without user demand. And if the resolution unsuitable or laptop display is applied - the resolution is too high or, on the contrary, too low, as a result we obtain dark screen With the inscription "Out of range", "Out of Range", "Input Not Supported" or with a different message, but the same essence. Experimenting with screen resolution in windows settings Or a video driver manager, such trouble can be avoided: if an unsupported resolution is erroneously installed, and the screen will turn off, after a few seconds it, returning to the same screen resolution, turns on again.
Installation of unsupported permission can also be a consequence of virus penetration.
So how to solve the problem if the screen resolution is applied by the monitor?
2. Participation of the Second Display
Solve the problem itself simple way Perhaps only under the condition that at least two monitors or monitor and TV are connected to the computer. The same applies to the periodically connected (respectively, previously configured in the system) monitor or television to a laptop. The problem is very simply solved even if it is established unsupported resolution of the main, not an additional display. And even though the image on the second screen is not duplicated, and extended. What should be done? On an empty desktop of the second screen, we call the context menu and select the "Screen Settings" item for Windows 10 and "Screen Resolution" for versions of the system 7 and 8.1.
Most likely window system settings The screen will open on the main monitor with impenetrable darkness. In this case, blind click the + shift key + arrow to the right / left to transfer the window to another screen. And install a supported resolution for the main monitor.
If only one monitor is connected to the system unit, but the room has a different monitor or TV, which may be supporting the installed screen resolution, solve the problem can be tried using the latter. All you need to do is connect another time display instead of the current monitor. And with it, you already set the desired screen resolution. It may very well be that a modern TV will be able to cope with the resolution, which for the main monitor turned out to be excessively high. And, on the contrary, there is a chance that the kinescopic televisions connected using the S-Video cable (for old video cards) or through a special adapter for the VGA cable (naturally, if there is any), you can display a low-resolution image of 640x480 or 800x600.
If there is no other displays, the Savior or Such also does not support the problematic screen resolution to cope with the task, alas, you will have to resort to "tambourine dances". Especially in the case of Windows 8.1 and 10 installed on the computer.
3. Deleting a video driver in the safe mode of Windows
To return the screen resolution supported by the monitor, you must download Windows in a safe mode, where the system works with the basic screen resolution, without starting the video device. In safe mode, the video card driver will have to be deleted. Then, running already in as usual mode System works, video driver will need to install again.
3.1. Safe mode for windows 7
In the case of Windows 7, this process will be easier due to the ease of entry into safe mode. Need hardware to reboot with hard buttons RESET and when starting a computer, press the F8 key. After hitting the optional download options, you need to select the "Safe Mode" option.
3.2. Safe mode for Windows 8.1 and 10 with the participation of their installation media
For Windows 8.1 and 10, the F8 key does not work, as in most cases its analog does not work - the combination of SHIFT + F8 is due to the reduced system startup. Get into the safe mode in these versions of the system, without seeing nothing in advance, you can use installation media Any of these versions - at least Windows 8.1, at least Windows 10. Reboot the system using the Hard Reset button, go to the BIOS and set the boot priority from the DVD or flash drive. At the first stage of installing Windows, click the Shift + F10 keys to start the command line. In its window we enter:
bCDEDIT / SET (DEFAULT) SafeBoot Minimal
Click Enter. And wait for the notification of the successful performance of the operation.
Command line closed window. In the Windows Installation Start window, click Next.
Click "Restoration System".
Then choose "Continue".
After restarting windows Computer Uploaded already in safe mode.
3.3. Safe mode for Windows 8.1 and 10 with recovery disk
If the disk was previously created windows restorationIt can be used in the same way as a disk or flash drive. When booting from the recovery disk and selecting the keyboard layout,
you need to select "Troubleshooting" (this menu option may also be called "Diagnostics"),
then - "Advanced Parameters",
and then run command line.
In its window, enter the above command and press ENTER.
3.4. Safe mode for Windows 8.1 and 10 blind
If there is no installation media with Windows 8.1 or 10, no recovery disk, if there is no second computer, with which any of them could be organized, or just with it all laziness to mess around, in a safe mode from a working but invisible system, you can try to enter blindly. But in this case, you need to carefully enter the values, to know exactly what language the keyboard layout before the experiment with the screen resolution, and also be in windows Environment, not within the 3D application (not all games can be rolled when you press the + D keys). So, what actions do you need to do blind?
Step 1: If the layout was not in English, switched to it with keys + space.
Step 2: Run the command line on behalf of the administrator by serial pressing the + Q, Cmd, Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys.
Step 3: If columns work, you will hear the usual sound Sound Uac; Click the arrow left, then ENTER.
Step 4: We enter the command line mentioned above
To make the computer screen settings as comfortable for the eyes, you need to know how to change the screen resolution of the monitor personal computer or laptop.
Screen resolution is an indicator that determines the clarity of displaying all icons, pictures, that is, graphics as a whole. It is important to determine what will be better for the monitor.
Recommended is always indicated in the instructions of the device. You can also look at it on the Internet, for this you need to determine only the size of the screen (the number of inches diagonally).
Changing the extension using the built-in OS functions
The greater the resolution, the better clarity of the display. For example, the display is 22 inches, will have a standard, which is equal to 1680 * 1050, it is optimal and maximum for this screen.
All available dimensions are available in the settings, it is desirable to choose the largest of the proposed.
Follow the instructions to change the image resolution of your display:

- Click on the drop-down list, as shown in the figure, and take the standard recommended. Save new settings.
Important! It happens that the recommended resolution is more than the display. That is, the final image size does not correspond to the size of the screen, so some elements of the desktop may abide from the field of view of the user. Monitor configuration will eliminate this problem. In the selection options, choose not recommended, and the one that fully displays all the elements of the desktop. At the same time, all graphics should be a clear.
Several common types of expansion and their corresponding displays:
- 1024 * 768 - perfectly suitable for screens, the size of which is 15 or 17 inches. In the display resolution of 1024 * 768 points, the depth of color is 16 bits;
- 1280 * 1024 - Designed for displays, the size of which is 19 inches;
- Types of monitors, 24 inches size most accurately transmit the image at a resolution in 1920 * 1080. All displays with such parameters refer to FullHD.
Screen update frequency control
The higher the display frequency of the display, respectively better quality Images. That is why, in addition to the size, you need to pay attention to this parameter.
To change the update frequency Follow the instructions:
- Go to the control panel. IN local line Enter the "screen" (without quotes);
- In the proposed search result, select the item that is responsible for the screen update frequency, as shown in the figure;

Such a utility is perfect for the Samsung Syncmaster family monitors.
Also with help this application You can find out the recommended resolution and the required update rate.
Full HD monitors in lately We got great distribution. Now resolution 1920 at 1080 is almost not minimum requirement to the monitor. But what to do if the monitor supports and even recommends setting the resolution of 1920 to 1080, and it is not on the list available? Or nothing happens, with the exception of some blinks and glitches on the screen.
You will find answers to these questions in this article.
Why could not be a resolution of 1920 at 1080?
Now there will be a list of all possible causesBy which the permission of Full HD may be absent in the list available or not correctly exhibited.
- The missing video card driver or video cards (if there are several of them, as often happens in laptops);
- Missing monitor driver;
- Faulty or low-quality cable from system Block to the monitor.
And now let's stay in detail at each point.
Driver video card
It whatever trite it sounded, but the video card drivers are really responsible for a lot, including the output of the list of available screen permissions. Even if you have a video card driver installed to accurately exclude it from the list of suspects better.
Installing the video card driver
Driver monitor
Really frequent cause Problems with the resolution of 1920 to 1080 is the missing monitor driver. To check if you are installed in the monitor, you are needed in the window where you set permission to pay attention to the "Display" string. There should not be the words "Monitor Connection Module", "Universal Monitor PNP", "Generic PNP Monitor" or "Standard Graphic Display".
Sign of the missing monitor driver
If you are written exactly, it is necessary to find the driver on your monitor on your internet and install it. Or dig in boxes from the monitor. Very often, with him there is a disk with drivers.
Popular cable from the monitor to the computer
A lot of cases are known when problems with the resolution of 1920 on 1080 were due to the cable connecting the monitor and the system unit.
Try to replace it on another, knowingly worker, lenting from friends or acquaintances to check.
VGA cable
Also, if you use (blue tips), in this case we advise you to try to connect the monitor via a DVI or HDMI cable if there are connections on the monitor and the video card.
