How to Fix a Stretched Screen Display Issue on Windows 10? 

Fun fact: You watched this video in stretched resolution

I got a new PC base unit only, when I connected to my monitor, got a fuzzy screen with horizontal lines and triple images icons etc. Followed your steps and it fixed everything. Display is perfect now. THANK YOU 🙏❤️

nothing happened pal. same outstreched screen in a very small monitor

If this doesn't work, try changing the refresh rate for the external monitor to 60Hz by going in display settings >display adapter settings > monitor > refresh rate

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH- I WAS ABT TO THROW THE ENTIRE THING AWAY

Thank you! Thank You! I went to the resolution settings twenty times but never scrolled to the top to see the actual recommended resolution. I watched your video and had it fixed in twenty seconds. Thanks much and good day from Atlanta Ga

FOR CLARIFICATION FOR EVERYONE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS. the fix i found was to do what was in the video. BUT THEN remove the cable and swap it to a different video port/hdmi port and then go into settings and it will now have the option to change resolution again.

Thank you so much!!!! i got scared why my pc monitor is so stretched and my icons and other stuff are so large. I thought it was my fault as i had shaken the wires to do something. Something like this had happened to me before and i didn't want it to happen again. I watched his video and my problem got fixed Thank you again

TSYM I JUST WATCHED THIS VID WHILE I THOUGHT MY PC WAS BROKEN AND YOU SAVED ME THANK YOU

thanks, other vids were not explaining well.

Thank you! Updated my drivers and my screen works perfectly now.

the recommended resolution is 2560 x 1080 but it is a little blurry and stretched?

It works. Omg! My screen is cropped on the left and there is a black space on the right. I watched it because I'm having trouble in shutting my computer down due to the cropped display. Thank you so much

I bought a new monitor and after just 2 days I faced this issue I was so scared I thought there is some issue with the monitor. This was really helpful. Thanks brother

Thank you very much I thought something bad happened but it turns out it was quite simple to fix

Thank you so much. The display adapter update suggestion works. You gained a follower. Love you 😘😘😘

Bro i u dont know how much this helped me. Thank you sooooo much i was legit crying. Love your work keep it up. God bless

Thank you so much! I was literally in the middle of a task when it happened!! I'm so glad is back to normal

if you're still having trouble do this. Open NVIDIA Control Panel go to "display" and go to change resolution and select your native resolution

but i cant see said settings how would i change them then?

if these don't work keep removing and reinserting your screen cable on you computer a couple of times until it automatically fixes itself

Thank you! I had to move my computer and my screen was stretched. Your a life saver!

Thank you so much. Really helpful. Was worried!

thank you my brother.... you helped me so mush with your tutorial on fix the stretched screen issues

Thank you man for helping me with my laptop

Thanks. Mine wasn't stretched, but was shortened in the width. I saw the recommended resolution highlighted in blue and tapped on a different number and then tapped on the recommended and it worked and the width came back to the original size.

For me I just clicked refresh and it fixed it

Super useful, I got an ultrawide monitor and couldn't figure out why it was stretched, spend about 30 minutes trying to figure it out before I found this

i love you. i tried method 2 and it worked well.

YES TYSM THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH I WASN'T ABLE TO GO TO ANY APPS

my man just prevented mass violence

OMG, YOU ARE MY HERO!!!! I LITERALLY WAS ABOUT TO CRY I SWEAR I AM GONNA SUB TO THANK YOU

Thanks😊 the last solution worked for me.

1:55 For some reason display resolution is greyed out and I can't open the menu. Is there any way to fix this?

Really, thank you!!! I've been searching for resources but this really helps me. (Update Driver)

It dont work

Necessary information. Thanks for making the application

Method 1 solved my problem thanks alot.

worked quite well...thanks bro

Guys for method 1, even tho he asks us to click on the recommend resolution, you should try out different resolution even if its not recommended, i click on a resolution that is not recommended and it fixed my issue

when i try to change my display it says "input not supported" what do i do?

Thank you! You solved my problem. From Philippines

Very helpful! Thank you!

Thank you very very much, Brother. I have given you a five-star review. AND YOU ARE VERY EXPERT.

Thanku so much bro For fixing my problem

Thank you this video allowed me to sort out my stretched screen just with the resolution change.

Thank you man you really helped me

Thanks brother worked for me big thanks

oh my goodness thank you so much what would i do without you

Thank you very much I was kinda worried but now I don't have to worry when this happens

Thank you so much this helped me so much. Even though i do not have a job this helped me allot, you really deserve a like. Thanks again!👍

My dad's PC has a shader model 2 Nvidia GPU and some of the resolutions are read incorrectly by the monitor. E.g 1600 900 is read as 1680 1050. The strange thing is, 800 600 and 1024 768 are read correctly but are stretched out to 16:9 instead of 4:3

nothing helped 😟. The recommended resolution in my settings isnt the right one. The resolution of my desktop is 1920 x 1200. I cant even choose that resolution anymore. This happened when I restarted my computer.

Omygodddddd i did ittt.. I also had adjusting brightness problem for at least 6 months but did not know how to fix it, you also fixed thattt Thank youuu

The first step worked for me thanks

thankyou so so much this is really helpful

Such a amazing video.thanks for necessary information

Sadly, it still does not work. My display resolution still only has 2 options 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600. Can someone help me? I don't think it is a hardware problem btw. Thanks so much.

Omg thank you so much I was so mad I almost punched my monitor…

My screen glitched out and this helped me thanks!

This randomly happen to me I'm glad I found this video all I had to do is change my resolution back to 1080p

the recommended resolution was the actual cause of the stretched screen problem lol, when I changed it to 1366 x 768 (not recommended) it worked, its safe to you can play around with the resolution for a bit before going to the drivers? thanks for the video though

Thank you so much. It fixed my problem on hp.

Really very important channel for tech lover....

Thank you so much brother ... You are great work all ways helpful

So... not to be the odd one out, but what do we do if this still doesn't correct the mismatch? Windows and display drivers are up to date while screen res is on recommended (does match the monitor) and yet still half of the task bar is buried and icons on the edge of the screen are chopped in half.

Thanks this really helped!!

Wow, that did it, instantly!! Thank you ever so much:) I'm a happy subscriber!

Thank you! This is the quickest I've ever fixed a computer issue lol

Thank you very helpful.

Very use full information ..thanks a lot...just subscribed .

Thank uuuu!!!!! Idk why I haven’t done this sooner 🤦🏼‍♀️

My stretched out screen happened just after the Welcome window filter disappeared. That's what I ended up doing is updating my Windows to fix the stretch error and it is now fixed. In fact I downloaded and installed the most recent version of Windows. But the filter is back on the Welcome screen. Hate that filter. You made a firm believer of me. I will make sure to check for updates and install them for now on. Thanks

Thank you for this informative video🥰🥰sending💖💖from the Philippines

Thank you, its very easy once given the key.

Thankyou so much brother!!!

Thank you so much for your tips, it helped!

despite your advice was dated 2020, I just had this problem today and I manage to fix it, thank you very much

I found out that I possibly disabled my display driver after shutting down my computer. I went into device manager and reenabled the device. Hopefully this helps anyone who still needs help!

Thank you I needed this

If these things don’t work for you… Unplug the monitor for a minute then plug it in again. Worked for me on a curved monitor. I was only getting a stretched left half.

Indeed very helpful thanks a lot

I did all of these none of them worked. My monitor is making everything big and it is stretched and im getting an error the error says "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"
