Question Using A 32" Vizio TV As A Monitor On W11

[Wolkie 72]

And my NVidia GPU resolution setting shows (native) 1920x1080, how can I make my screen fit so I can see all of my mail icon. I see where it says I need to find aspect ratio, but after that I'm lost. My GPU is RTX4070.

Do I just need to buy a dedicated monitor or can I reset the resolutions? I have tried/errored this already, but my desktop icons get so big they disappear.

I am hoping someone else might have had this problem and can advise me.

You could try scale. There are other personalization options that can increase/decrease the size of the icons and so forth.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will give that a try.

Generally this is not a computer problem but it is a TV problem. What specific TV model do you have and have you gone through all of the TV's picture size settings to see if they resolve the problem?

An issue that I have run into several times using "smaller" TV as monitor is them being sold as "1080", but really being more akin to "720" in size. In this case I have used the Nvidia control panel to create a custom resolution.
