A white vertical stripe appeared on my laptop's screen today. Luckily it is on the side of the screen. My screen is 1366 x 768 I would like to force system to use only 1300 x 768(don't use 66 vertical lines on the left side).   Is this is manageable? The graphics card is the Intel HD4000.

I want to re-position the display on my ASUS K53SM laptop's screen because I somehow managed to damage some portion of it (and I don't want to spend on this laptop for the time being).  Please refer the following image:    I changed the resolution from 1366x768 to 1280*768 to avoid the bad portion of the screen, but the screen is now centered and the right portion of my screen is now rendered useless.  What I want to do is, set a custom resolution of my laptop and re-position it in a way that is utilizes all the working area of my screen.  How do I re-position the displayed image on my laptop?

Ubuntu Detects 2 monitors when I only have 1. This causes an issue when booting up because it's detecting 2 monitors and by default it is mirroring the display; which is causing a distorted picture since it's trying to create a mirror image on 1 display. xrandr output.... The VGA1 is the phantom monitor and I need to remove it so it boots to LVDS1 and NOT mirrored.   Any suggestions on how to permanently remove VGA1?  :~$ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 848x480 60.0 640x480 59.9 LVDS1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1920x1080 59.6*+ 1680x1050 60.0 59.9 1600x1024 60.2 1400x1050 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 1440x900 59.9 1280x960 60.0 1360x768 59.8 60.0 1152x864 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9

Wondered if it is possible to use  to  a display device as a stop-gap solution to artifacts left over from a graphics card malfunction?  In particular it leaves  very un-user-friendly:     I found out the hardware ID of my display adapter through device manager (below)    [(windows key + pause break) -> device manager -> display adapters -> right click your display adapter -> properties -> details -> hardware ids.]    I tried the commands (opened with admin privileges) devcon restart "PCI\VEN_1002" and devcon restart =display but it always come back with .  Is it even possible to restart the graphics card without a system reboot?

I want to connect my laptop (Inspiron 15 5000 Series) to a 4k display. When I read online about this it seems that HDMI 2.0 is a necessaity to handle the large resolutions / refresh rates involved to get full benefits of a 4k display.  Use case: I'm not going to use this to play games. Most of my use-case is editing documents, emails, spreadsheets and some engineering drawings and video (watching not editing).   The goal behind going 4k is to boost productivity by having more things open at once to read side by side.   I looked into the Dell specs and they only mention an HDMI without going into the details of what type or whether it will support HDMI 2.0 / 4K TV.     How do I tell whether my Dell Inspiron Laptop (i7 7500 U processor) supports this?  I looked under the Display Adapters and can see that I have an "Intel HD Graphics 620"  listed.   Will this suffice to tell me if this display adapter will support HDMI 2.0 / 4k display?   Or should I be checking out some other settings?  Thanks!

I know that there's  but it doesn't have any real answers despite having been viewed 12,400 times, and the fact that it's been closed. With that in mind...  Why in the world is 1366x768 resolution a real thing? It has an aspect ratio of 683:384, which is the weirdest thing I've ever heard of while living in a 16:9 world.   All screens and resolutions I've been familiar with have been 16:9 aspect ratio. My screen, 1920x1080, is 16:9. The 720p that I'm familiar with is 1280x720, also 16:9. 4K that I'm familiar with, 3840x2160, is also 16:9. Yet 1366x768 is 683:384, a seemingly wild break from the standard.  I know there are plenty of other resolutions all over the place, but 1366x768 seems to dominate most of the mid priced laptop world and also seems unique to the laptop world. Why don't laptops use 1280x720 or something else as a standard?

I installed  on VirtualBox. I logged in, installed VirtualBox additions and restarted the system. The system did not load again, instead I see this:    The aspect ratio of the image is preserved in this screenshot and it doesn't make much sense to me - no screen has such dimensions. I did not do anything else special that I could mention. This is the only thing I see before the screenshot above:

My current desktop reso is 1366x768    In cs 1.6 I have selected display option as Normal and Resolution as 1024x768.     In this settings I don't get those vertical black side bars which make the playing screen square.     Atm it is rectangular but I wanted square.    How do I get the vertical black bars while playing cs 1.6?

Q: I have two monitors with different scaling on the same window. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I also have a minor issue with new windows or browser windows opening half off screen and I think it could be related by not sure.  Info: I have a Optiplex 990 with an NVidia GTX 750 Ti for CAD and modeling on Windows 10. I'm running two monitors, the first being a DellP2213 over DVI and the second being a Dell UP3214Q over Mini DP. Both monitors are set to native and I haven't made any changes to scaling or resolutions.  I've included  so you can see what I'm talking about, as well as two shots from the display settings.  The first image is a photo of the layout.   Next is the print screen of the layouts.   The other two pictures show the basic settings of the monitors.    If anyone needs more information, please let me know.  Edit: Tried updating drivers and removing the NVidia Control Panel settings. No dice.

My ubuntu boot screen shows up in a strange low resolution, almost text mode, instead the usual and sleek white "ubuntu" over dark background. It's not a big issue because when GDM loads everything becomes ok, but If there's an easy way to fix it I would like to give it a try.

How do I find out the number, type, resolution &amp; refresh rate of additional monitors I can attach to my MacBook or MacBook Pro?  This is an attempt at a canonical QA, as per the Meta QA -   to try prevent the myriad "same but different" questions we get on every possible combination of computers, cable &amp; monitors There are perfectly good resources out there that Ask Different should not have to duplicate the efforts of.

I have an HP Pavilion 14 inch laptop.  I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10.   Everything went well, but when I boot up the system, my screen rotation was set to left.   Then I tried using xandr to rotate my screen, but my every effort failed.  Can anybody help me on the same?

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.3 with NVidia drivers (319) for my Quadro K2100M graphic card, and when I switch my main 3200x1800 laptop screen to mode 1920x1080 (using nvidia-settings), the display goes blurry...  I am using two screens:    My main screen is a LCD with max resolution 1920x1200. My laptop screen (original resolution 3200x1800) is sitting to the right of that.   The main problem is that, on Ubuntu, the font is far too small on my laptop screen. Because of that, I wanted to change the resolution of my laptop to 1920x1080.  Reading , I tried to  and here is the DPI configuration which I should have:   94x94 for my main LCD screen 1920x1200 235x236 for my 3200x1800 laptop screen   Is there a way to have dual DPI resolutions with an extended desktop?

I just installed Lubuntu 13.10 and I have a problem - On Windows I can go up to 2048x1536, but the display setting on Lubuntu only lets me go up to 1024x768. I already ran the update and upgrade, and the software thing shows no additional updates.  My display is: Intel G965 Express [No Nvidia or AMD graphics]

Problem -   I can't get 2560x1440  high resolution to work on my Dell 27" U2713HM Monitor.  Details -   I have a Dell E6520 LAPTOP running 64 bit Windows 8. The highest resolution on the laptop is 1920x1080.  It shows 2 display adapters under Device Manager   Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 NVIDIA NVS 4200M   I checked to make sure drivers for both are latest. In my task tray I have both Intel graphics and NVIDIA managers.  I bought a Dell 27" U2713HM Monitor to use 2560 X 1440 resolution.  Installed the Dell Display manager, latest drivers etc.  Connected monitor using Dual Link DVI through my docking station.  I just cant get the 2560 X 1440 high resolution.  It only gives me 1920 X 1080 on the monitor. I even tried the HDMI connection.  Is this because my laptop display card has max resolution of 1920 X 1080?   So in order to use a certain max resolution, the display card in my laptop needs to support it?  If I see 2 display adaptors in Device manager, does it mean I have 2 display cards?  How can I get the Dell 27" U2713HM Monitor 2560 X 1440 resolution to work?

Does anyone know if Notepad++ can display a vertical line on the right margin to indicated that the text will or will not fit on a printed page?  I have looked but I cannot find it.  Word wrap does work, but it wraps by my screen width, not by the width of a printed page.

Several weeks ago a darker spot appeared on my screen (as seen in the attached picture, it's right under the "Super User" tab) and it looks as if there was some liquid behind the screen. When I physically press it, it doesn't change its shape and it didn't change its shape since it appeared (around 2 weeks ago). The spot is visible especially on white background and is very weak with black background.  I tried blowing hot air on it and rubbing strong magnet (from a hard disk) but neither helped nor made it change its shape.  Do you have any ideas what could have caused it? Additionally, do you know how could it be fixed besides using my warranty? The laptop is 4 months old, Asus UX530UQ.  Thanks
