Issue with "second screen" resolution

Bitschubser — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 11:57:08 GMT

Hello,

when i try to use the feature "second screen" on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+, it provides only a screen resulution of 1920x1080 pixels. How can i get the full screen resolution of the tablet when i use it as a second screen for my WIN11 Notebook?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

@Bitschubser: This might be a limitation of the feature. When your tablet and Notebook are connected, do you see a toolbar at the top of the tablet/Notebook screen? If so, try tapping the cog symbol in the toolbar to see if it offers any additional resolution options for you.

No, 1920x1080 is the highest possible resolution that was provides in the settings.

Hey,

you can download Samsungs "Second Screen"-App from the Microsoft Store on your Laptop.

When installed it at least provides a 1920x1200 resolution that fills the whole tablet screen. A higher Resolution (e.g. the native resolution of the Tablet) is unfortunately not possible..

Hi,

Just download Samsung's "Second screen" app from Microsoft Store. After installing it and reconnecting again with your tablet, you'll have additional screen resolution options. Hope it will work for you

Hello...I tried this and it worked for about a week and then second screen went back to limiting screen resolution, which of course, is annoying and absurd.
