How to adjust my screen size to my monitor (HP 2710M)

[Tonio_62]

Hi all,

I've attached a "new" monitor (HP 2710m) to my HP Prodesk 630, upgraded the graphics driver and although there is a picture, half the task bar is hidden below the monitor's brezel (I can hardly see the icons). How do I adjust this? The monitor is connected via HDMI and on the Monitor's OSD Control menu the option to manually adjust the picture horizontally or vertically is greyed out (in the handbook it says this option is only available with VGA). Additionally everything is far too big on the screen. I can't go lower than 100% and resolution is set to HD with 60Hz.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot ...

Hi Paul, thanks for your speedy suggestion. I was able to get the job done by using the Intel Graphics Tool. The picture now fits the screen, great. However something is still off with this monitor. Everything is just a bit too big on the screen, sharpness is miserable and everything seems blurry and there is a shadow to the right of the characters. It’s on HD resolution (1920x1080, 60 Hz), so no idea what‘s that about. Not sure I have the energy to try to get this mess calibrated properly - unless you guys come up with another brilliant suggestion 😁🤔

You're very welcome.

Did you look at that display scale setting in Windows and make sure it is set to 100%.

I've had PC's automatically set that setting on 125% which I believe is the Windows default setting for W11.

If it is, then unfortunately, I don't have any other ideas for you to try and suggest you start a new discussion on the problem.
