I have a brand new digital HP Windows 10 laptop connected through a HDMI to VGA adapter to a 1680x1050 resolution analog monitor and I want them to work as dual monitors. In 'Display Settings' menu laptop's screen appears as monitor 1 and the analog monitor as monitor 2.

Well, the thing is that if I run 'Show Desktop Only on 1' or 'Show Desktop Only on 2' in 'Display Settings', both monitors look perfectly but when I click on 'Extend This Displays', monitor 1 (laptop's screen) continues looking good while monitor 2 (analog monitor), with the same '1680x1050 (recommended)' resoluton set in 'Display Settings' as before, its image narrows on the screen, with blurry text and a 'Out of Range' monitor error.

Do you have any ideas to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!

I have finally solved it. In fact, it was very simple but I had to know a few steps to solve this issue :

1. Right Click on the home screen > click on display settings
2. Go to the bottom of the window and click on advanced display settings
3. Click on display adapter properties for display 2
4. Click on the last tab intel HD Graphics control panel
5. On the Display select options choose monitor
6. On the Scaling select options choose Customize Aspect Ratio
7. Click Apply :) , that’s it

You helped me on the way,. my solution was only a bit different.

I selected a higher frequency, 75hz and changed resolution later. This can be found in:

1. advanced display settings.
2. Display adaptor properties for display 2.
3. on the adaptor tap,. List all modes,. select a higher frequency.
