windows 10 - Connected to 2 monitors but one is blurry


EDIT :
Monitor 1 resolution-2560 x 1440 (recommended) Monitor 2 resolution: 2048 x 1080 (there is no recommended resolution and the same resolution option as monitor 1 is not available) Laptop resolution: 1920 x 1080 (recommended) Laptop details in attachment. I am using a DELL docking port with a lightning USB, reg type: K20A001


Connected my DELL laptop to TWO DELL monitors. They are the exact same monitors. One monitor has the Display settings option as 125% recommended whereas the other has 100% recommended and does not have the 125% option. My monitors have been replaced recently and this issue was not found in my previous monitors or my monitors at home.


ISSUE -> The monitor with 100% recommended display setting is blurry and flickers. The task bar is not displayed in full and the time on the extreme right is cut. IT guy worked on my laptop for two whole days and found nothing. He even replaced the faulty monitor to a brand new one and NOTHING. He thought I might have run out of RAM space and tried to insert extra space, but that did not help. He went over all sorts of combinations in the display settings for each monitor and nothing. I used my colleague's laptop to connect to the monitors and it is clear, no issues.


Is the problem with my laptop then?


Can someone please help in this matter? Thanks!



Answer



The issue lies with the lack of bandwidth in most 2019 and earlier laptops. The Display Port (USB-C) connection is only through the onboard Intel graphics, and uses HBR2, which has a max bandwidth of 8.6gbps. Per the table on the WD19 docking station user manual, at page 17, the minimum bandwidth for a single 1440p monitor is 5.2gbps. So two 1440p monitors use at least 10.4gbps of bandwidth, which is over capacity for HBR2.


I suggest you try using the WD19 for one monitor, and the HDMI on the laptop for the other monitor if it has it. Yes...it's more cables, but this is the only way I see to use two 1440p monitors with this setup. It'll also help file transfers since the USB-C connection wont be limited in bandwidth.

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y

networking - Windows 10, can ping other PC but cannot access shared folders! What gives?

I have a computer running Windows 7 that shares a Git repo on drive D. Let's call this PC " win7 ". This repo is the origin of a project that we push to and pull from. The network is a wireless network. One PC on this network is running on Windows 10. Let's call this PC " win10 ". Win10 can ping every other PC on the network including win7 . Win7 can ping win10 . Win7 can access all shared files on win10 . Neither of the PCs have passwords. Problem : Win10 cannot access any shared files on win7 , not from Explorer, nor from Git Bash or any other Git management system (E-Git on Eclipse or Visual Studio). So, win10 cannot pull/push. Every other PC on the network can access win7 shared files and push/pull to/from the shared Git origin. What's wrong with Windows 10? I have tried these: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings\ File sharing is on, Discovery is on, Password protected sharing is off Adapte
