While troubleshooting a completely unrelated issue, I changed the resolution of my monitors to 1920 x 1080 (from their native 1360 x 768). This ultimately didn't solve my original issue, so I reverted back to the native resolution. Now get this -- The edges on my one of my monitors (left) are being cut off.
I can't seem to figure this out. In every single setting I can find on my whole computer, both of my monitors appear 100% identical except for which one is defined as the primary monitor. Also, changing the secondary monitor to the primary monitor doesn't do anything. The same monitor still cuts off the edges regardless of who is defined as the primary monitor.
The only thing I can possibly imagine is wrong is that my graphics drivers could possibly be out of date, but that doesn't make any sense since one of my monitors is actually working. In fact they were both working perfectly before I decided to fiddle with resolution settings. I'm just so confused as to why my monitor could up and forget how to properly display something because I temporarily changed a setting...
Anyways, I am really NOT in the mood to troubleshoot driver issues tonight so I'm heading off to bed. If any of you can think of something that might fix it before I dive into the hellscape that is drivers issues I'd absolutely love to hear it.
Update - So it turns out I only changed the resolution of my left monitor to 1920 x 1080 and reverted it. I know this because I tested changing the resolution on my second monitor. If I used the "revert settings" button with the countdown it reverted 100% correctly. However, if I hit "keep settings", then switched back to 1360 x 768 from 1920 x 1080, it now exhibits the exact same issue as the first monitor. I've also found somewhat of a workaround by changing the HDMI mode in my monitor's menu settings from "video" to "graphic", but in doing that the colors all seem ever so slightly off, and everything seems just slightly fuzzy.
Relevant specs:
Operating System: Windows 10 (fully updated as of 1 hour ago)
Monitors: Hitachi LE24K307
Anger level: Similar to that when you wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning because of a loud noise outside, then you can't fall back to sleep for any reason, then you eventually get up and then drive an hour to work to realize you've forgotten your wallet at home.
