A few months back I won a stream deck for my home office makeover that I have covered a few times here, I am not a streamer but anything that can automate and orchestrate my life to be easy is a win. This is what I have been doing with the stream deck whilst also checking out StreamLabs OBS and OBS for actual streaming content. I have buttons setup for zoom meetings, my Elgato Key Light Airs, some key web sites and tools I use daily and more than once and now this, which is related to screen resolution. If you want to see more of that setup then you can find more here.

Keeping the stream deck option in the back of my head I had to find a program or a way in which to change between the full resolution and something more viewable. The best one I found was from 12noon called Display Changer, simple stuff.
Now I only have one monitor so I only need to change one resolution at one time, this tool is also applicable and useful though if you have multiple monitors and there are commands you can use to list monitors and then define resolutions and other settings for each monitor.
After messing around in the command line for a bit with some settings I found that the following two commands were the settings I would like to flip between. The first one is the recommended resolution for the monitor and the second is the more viewable option when I am sharing my screen.
Repeat that step for as many resolution change buttons you want and then you can toggle between them for whatever reasons you have, I have also since found that this also helps when recording my YouTube content videos is that I can condense the whole resolution down, this helps with post edit.
So I made something of a newbie mistake. I changed the fullscreen resolution to 1240xsomething and found that it was too big. The problem now is that because of the new oversized resolution, I can no longer find the 'Accept' or 'Apply' buttons necessary to change the resolution, or any other graphical settings. Is there another way of doing this?
KSP generally shouldn't let you change to a higher resolution than the operating system reports your display can accept, if you're using a TV then try having a look in it's menu to see if it's got an overscan setting - turning that off is a good ideal generally.
On W10 when I change my screen resolution in the settings pane from 5120x1440 to 2560x1440 Windows it does so while keeping the ratio intact (by centering the display image and inserting black rectangles on the L/R sides of my screen).But when I do so in PS or with a soft like HRC the image is flattened to the end of the sides.
I have a lovely pair wide screen monitors with 1080p resolution. However, when recording software training courses for Pluralsight, we are asked to use a resolution of 1280720 so that text and code are legible across a variety of devices and sizes.
Please also go look at the system settings for resolution and confirm if other resolutions are still seen and available (meaning you can change to other resolutions in the system settings) or if it too only allows 1024x768. This can help us determine the root of the issue a bit better.
Just to clarify, TeamViewer on my Mac will mirror the resolution provided by the PC that I am connecting to? Does that mean I should be recalling any video hardware/software changes on the PC (computer that I am connecting to)? There are no changes that I am aware of.
I tested connecting to the PC from another PC and I was able to change the resolution from the drop down list as normal. But I am unable to change the resolution when I connect from two different Apple computers.
I am now understanding that when I change the resolution with TeamViewer, it changes the system resolution of the computer I am connected to and then mirrors this...correct me if I am wrong here. It seems that the two Apple computers running MacOS operating systems are no longer doing this. Perhaps I can work around this by connecting to the PC, then going into the system resolution settings and making sure that it is still set to 2540 x1440 after I have connected, and if not, change the resolution there. I'll have to try this later today when I am in front of my Mac.
To clarify the screen resolutions: When you connect to a machine, the screen resolutions provided in TeamViewer's Remote Control Toolbar are the ones provided by the remote machine - in your case, the Windows computer you are connecting to.
When in a remote control session, you should only need to change the resolution from the Remote Control Toolbar, so I am curious if it will show something differently in the system settings when you are connected and cannot alter resolution - definitely let me know the results of changing it in the system preferences when connected!
I just tested changing the resolution in system preferences when connected to the PC and it will not change. It stays at 1024 x 600. If I select a resolution less than or equal to 1024 then the resolution will change, otherwise it will stay at the last resolution set. So I can set it to 800 x 600, 1024 x 600, and 1024 x 768.
Obviously I want to set it to the resolution 2560 x 1440, otherwise I'm viewing the PC through a much smaller window. This is the resolution I was able to set it to until recently. Let me know what you discover.
JoshP this sounds exactly like the same issue I am experiencing. I'm a little confused about the RDP comment. Though, if I am understanding it correctly, it sounds like something I have tried. When I am on my Windows PC, I remote connect to my Mac, I then remote connect back to my Windows PC (it's a little trippy), but in this instance I am able to change the resolution of the Windows PC through TeamViewer with no problem. I also see it change the resolution on the PC since I am in front of it. I hope that was clear.
My only question now, which you probably won't be able to answer, is why I now need to keep the monitor on for this to work? I have been using TeamViewer for over two years and I always turn the monitor of my remote computer off when I am not actively using it. I was able to change the resolution with the monitor off until a few weeks ago.
Since TeamViewer can only show what the computer provides, when the monitor is off (or no monitor connected), there may be no screen visible at all, or just the default resolution. TeamViewer cannot work with headless (no monitor) systems out of the box.
Yes, that all makes sense to me. I can see how this is expected behavior with TeamViewer and that there must be a change on my remote computer that is causing me to be unable to change the resolution when the monitor is turned off.
Once you helped narrow down the cause of the issue to the graphics card, I noticed that the driver was updated recently (as I mentioned in my last post). I rolled back the driver to the previous version and I am able to adjust the resolution with the monitor off!
today I installed TeamViewer as I'm getting frustrated with the poor performance of the combination VPN+RDP I've been using so far, things have gotten worse since I recently bought a 21:9 monitor and the resolution increased
Yes I have the same problem. First screenshot is a Windows Server on a DELL Rack machine. These Rack machines are in a computer room with no entrance for me and normally without a monitor connected. I can use RemoteDesktop to this machine while I'm in office and have great monitor resolution. No problem with RemoteDesktop.
4) Navigate to "00" and change PrimSurfSize.cx and PrimSurfSize.cy to the resolution of Your choice. In order to calculate the right value, run Windows Calculator and switch it to "Programmator mode", in which You type the value in decimal and You will see the correct value in Hexadecimal. Or just use 780 for .cx and 438 for .cy, which will get You a nice, 21st century, 1920 x 1080 resolution.
Custom Resolution Utility is a small freeware utility which can tweak your NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards to create higher resolutions.As a portable application, CRU does not require installation and can be run without installation.The layout of the program provides a list of currently supported resolutions for your monitor with the option to add new ones.The application isn't perfect, but if your monitor can support higher and/or different resolutions from what's displayed in your graphics control panel, Custom Resolution Utility will create EDID values in the registry so that you may select the resolutions in your graphics settings.Currently supported GPUs are limited to some AMD/ATI and NVIDIA cards, as Intel GPUs are not supported.It's worth pointing out that you should have an idea of what your monitor and GPU are capable of. If anything goes wrong, the download comes with an app called "reset-all.exe" which can be run to revert any changes you have made with Custom Resolution Utility.Features of Custom Resolution UtilityAMD/ATI's driver also listens to the TMDS clock limit in the HDMI support data block. Detailed resolutions are the preferred way to add custom resolutions. HDMI is treated as single-link DVI unless an HDMI support data block is defined in the first extension block. HDMI limits depend on the graphics card. Passive DisplayPort to HDMI adapters are limited to 165 MHz unless the driver is patched. The first detailed resolution is considered the preferred or native resolution. Compatibility and LicenseCustom Resolution Utility is provided under a freeware license on Windows from video tweaks with no restrictions on usage. Download and installation of this PC software is free and 1.5.2 is the latest version last time we checked.
I dont know if its possible to hide the keyboard, but another solution is to open you're running configuration manager and to set -scale parameter inside the "target" tab at the bottom on the option for adding additional configurations. I think you can use values from 0.1 to 3.0, for example i have a 14" screen and i just use 0.8 scale and it works fine.Hope it helps you.
