Screen won't fit monitor

[Stijn Hendriks]

Using laptop with intel HD graphics 5600
Via HDMI to a old PnP BenQ FP222WH
1280x720p resolution is recommended but it doesn't fit.
using 1920x1080p fits the screen better but the screen is too big, my windows search bar is outside the screen for example.

windows 10 with Hd 5600 graphics.
underscanning doesn't work for me and the resolution 1600x900p doesn't excist on this monitor..
please help

Sometimes you have to resize manually.
I use nvidia for it, but if you dont have it you need to learn how to do it with hd graphics.

To resize with nvidia you go to Nvidia Contro Panel > Adjust desktop size and position >Size > Resize

Must be something similar

does the monitor have an "auto" button?

no, and if i want to adjust the screen size it won't let me.. i can't pick it, it is locked i think

so in the resolution 800x600 it fits the monitor... but it isn't full screen.. i got black bars around the screen

The link gives an error just like the first one xD
