Subject: Re: Dual screen

I run dual screen on my laptop.  If memory serves; 3 things may have an impact.  First set your new monitor to 1600 x 1200 and see if it clears up,

The old monitor has alway been working fine in 1600 x 1200 (4:3)

 

I seem to remember something about the ratio having an affect on resolution 1.33:1 vs 1.5:1 respectively for your monitors.  If this is the case then the resolutions might need/want to match.  The other is in the monitor menu itself. I don't recall what but I do recall some monitors have settings which affect resolution.  Finally, it may just be the quality of the monitors, something beyond your control.  I have seen both, good picture quality monitor designed for graphic work and color matching and a $100 special used more for just cli use in administration trying to be the former.  This is affected from the pixel-per-inch count from the manufacturer vs. dots-per-inch resolution in software for which there is a difference, though usually invisible to us.  Gnome has a tweak tool for high resolution, gnome-tweak-tool from yum.  This article may help: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2911509/how-to-make-linuxs-desktop-look-good-on-high-resolution-displays.html 

 

Changing the windows scaling, works, but it just change the scaling, ie, makes every things bigger.

 

Actually, I also have a laptop in 1920 x 1080, and  the view is sharp.

It seems that running a 1600x1200 and a 1920x1080 monitor is not very compatible for the 1920x1080 (or

second screen).
