Problem Display on digital monitor appears blurry or uses only a portion of the
screen
1
Cause You may be using a lower display resolution than what your digital monitor supports. If your
monitor supports display scaling, the image on your screen may appear blurry. If display
scaling isn’t supported, the display may use only a portion of your screen.

Solution Select the highest display resolution available. This generally results in better image quality.
(While using 2 digital monitors at the same time, certain limitations may apply. For more
information, see page 35.)
