I have new monitor for my laptop.

First, I don't know my leptop resolution is bigger than my monitor max resolution, but after setting it's working fine with same resolution as my laptop.

But when I want configure the display in monitor I found this Resolution in below left is more than maximum

It's working fine after more than 20 hours, but I just want to ask if this safe for monitor and why it's have more than maximum.?

BTW I use windows 10 and Intel VGA, I setting the resolution from Intel Control Panel.

Thank you.

  • I think that it just downscales the resolution to make it fit. It shouldn't cause any harm.

  • Yeah, I hope this not an issue, but i still want to know why this monitor have more resolution than it's max. Because the downscales not really big i think.

For digital monitors, using a higher resolution than the monitor can handle is safe, but the display might be blurry compared to using the physical native resolution, or it might not display anything at all, if it shuts down temporarily.

Old CRT displays could be damaged by using the incorrect display parameters, particularly scan rates (frequency).
