We just set up a HP Pavillion desk top tp01-2234 with a Toshiba 30-inch Tv as the monitor.

Having a difficult time getting the display to fit on the screen and finding a means to reduce the icons. Would like to change the background but cannot figure out the means to accomplish it.

Hi @Momiii,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It sounds like you're having some issues with the display settings and customization on your HP Pavilion desktop. I'll provide you with some general steps to help you adjust the display settings, change the background, and reduce icon size on a Windows computer. Please note that the exact steps may vary depending on your version of Windows, but these instructions should work for most versions.

Adjust Display Settings:

• Right-click on an empty area of your desktop and select "Display settings" from the context menu.
• In the Display settings window, you can adjust the following:
  • Resolution: Choose a resolution that best fits your monitor. A higher resolution will make everything appear smaller, while a lower resolution will make things appear larger.
  • Scaling: You can adjust the size of text, apps, and other items. Typically, 100% is the recommended setting, but you can experiment with this to make things larger or smaller.
• Click "Apply" after making changes to see how they affect your display. You may need to sign out and sign back in for some changes to take effect.

Change Desktop Background:

• Right-click on an empty area of your desktop and select "Personalize" from the context menu.
• In the Personalization settings, go to the "Background" section. You can choose a picture, solid color, or slideshow for your background.
• Select the background you want, and you can also adjust other settings like the picture fit (Fill, Fit, Stretch, Tile, Center), picture position, and slideshow settings.

Reduce Icon Size:

• Right-click on an empty area of your desktop and hover over "View."
• You should see options like "Large icons," "Medium icons," or "Small icons." Select the one that suits your preference. This will change the size of the icons on your desktop.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
