| 1417016 | 2016-03-06 06:06:00 | I have a ex lease Lenovo Thinkpad for usual light use stuff. It doesn't have HDMI but a Display Port. I have the adaptor so it plugs into the HDMI port of the HDTV. When I press the start button nearly the entire (vertical) screen is taken up by the start menu. Is this normal? If I plug it into my Dell screen (supports Display Port) it doesn't do that. Same if I plug it into the HDMI port of our AOC computer LCD. Is this a HDTV thing or setting? Doesn't worry me, this what a HDTV does / presentation mode? Cheers :) |

| 1417019 | 2016-03-06 21:23:00 | Found it. Windows 10 under display properties where you select screen 1 or 2. Just above the resolution selector. "Change size of Text, App and other setttings" was set to 150%. In brackets it said it was recommended. Put back to 100% all fine now. Yeah .. the wallpaper, start menu, webpages etc everything was more zoomed in. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1417020 | 2016-03-06 21:48:00 | Maybe it is a Windows 10 feature. Doesn't happen to a computer LCD. For normal televisions - maybe it increases the size by default so the words and menu isn't so small on the large screen? :confused: | Nomad (952) | ||

Same thing happened here, when I plugged in a TV to test HDMI on a Win10 PC . It automatically scaled to 150% |
