Screen moved to the side

Post by Mats391 »

Hi,
my second screen which has been acting weird for quite some time now, but now it is even more strange. Suddenly the display is shifted to the left making about 1/3 of the screen unusable and hiding the same on the left side. I already tried autoadjusting and manual moving, but i cannot move it far enough to fix it. Even when moving it all the way to the right it still has a big gap.
No idea what caused it, maybe the screen just slowly saying his goodbyes :( or it fixes it self when i turn PC on tomorrow.
Anyone got an idea?

I am just guessing here but besides the obvious stuff like testing the screen on another computer and resetting the on screen menu you could try using a custom resolution like 1919x1080 or a custom refresh rate like 58 or 62hz. (assuming it's a standard 1080p display)

what happens if you disable your primary and switch your secondary to be the only monitor? does the same 1/3 not appear? if it appears, probably a software/driver issue..or hardware issue if it remains the same

It is a 1440x900 screen (16:10) and the issue was also present on different resolutions and when setting it as only screen. I guess it just needed some sleep and is working fine now ;)
