The screen has shifted to the left what to do. Moving the laptop screen in different directions

Why might this option be needed? The first answer: to view large-sized images from the right angle. So, for example, the developers of gaming products, designed to play in projection on a vertically located display, act. A photo taken from the wrong angle and placed on the desktop also needs to be corrected.

In addition, some modern monitors may themselves be mounted differently. You can think of a dozen more situations in which the user may need to rotate the screen. So, how to rotate the image on the display? This is the subject of our short note. As usual, there are several different options for doing the same action.

The first and easiest way is to use keyboard shortcuts. Here is a picture explaining it:

However, this option does not work on all computers. The easiest way to verify the availability of a function is by experience. Press "Ctrl" + "Alt" + arrow key at the same time and admire the result.

If nothing has changed on the screen, then try other options, which we will discuss below.

Other ways to control the screen image

Some benefit in terms of solving our problem can be obtained using the “Screen Resolution” window.

Getting to it in Windows 7 and Windows 8 is as easy as shelling pears: you just need to click on an empty spot on the desktop and select the item with the same name in the context menu that opens.

A window similar to this will appear:

By manipulating the "Orientation" list, you can achieve the desired effect.

In Windows XP, the same option is available in the desktop properties window (we click on an empty spot on the screen and select the "Properties" menu item).

The next way to move the screen on a PC or laptop to the left or in any other direction is to use the capabilities of the video card, not the Windows OS itself.

When installing a driver for a modern video adapter, we usually install some other software, like the video card control panel.

Dig into its options - and you're sure to find something there to adjust the orientation. Better yet, just read the documentation for such a program.

Do you have a game that needs to be played vertically? Are you trying to create a unique home computer screen? Are you building a retro arcade? Rotating a monitor isn't exactly a simple procedure, but with the right hardware, you can set up your monitors the way you want. Once the monitor is installed, you can change the way Windows displays so that you don't have to tilt your head to view. Finally, you can calibrate your monitor so that colors look their best.

Steps

Part 1

Try rotating the screen using keyboard shortcuts. This is the fastest way to rotate the displayed screen, but does not work on all systems. The fastest way to find out if it works is to do a simple test. If these keyboard shortcuts don't work, go to the next step:

• Ctrl+Alt+ ← will rotate the screen 90° to the left.
• Ctrl+Alt+ → will rotate the screen 90° to the right.
• Ctrl+Alt+ ↓ will flip the screen upside down.
• Ctrl + Alt + will return the screen to its original correct position.

1. Open the Screen Resolution window. In Windows 7 and 8, it can be opened by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Screen Resolution". In Windows Vista, select "Personalization" and then click the Display Settings option.

   • On Windows XP, select "Properties" and then click Settings .

2. Choose your rotation option. Look at the "Orientation" drop-down menu. There you will be able to select the screen rotation option. Select the desired option and then click Apply .

   • If you don't see the Orientation option, continue to the next step.

3. Open the graphics card control panel. Screen rotation in this case is performed using the video card, not Windows. While most modern graphics cards add rotation options to the Windows Screen Resolution window, you may need to open the graphics card control panel to access it.

   • Typically, you can access the control panel by right-clicking on the desktop and clicking on the graphics card control panel option. You can also get to it by opening the Windows Control Panel and then selecting it from there.
   • Select the "Rotation" or "Orientation" sections in the control panel. You can use them to rotate the screen to your liking.
   • If the screen is not rotated by a keyboard shortcut, there is no rotation option in the Screen Resolution window, or there is no installed video card, you will not be able to rotate the screen.

Part 2

1. Open an image to calibrate. There are many free calibration images available on the internet. The calibration image serves as a reference when you change monitor settings.

   Open the monitor menu. Most monitors have an OSD that you can use to adjust color, brightness, and contrast. If your monitor does not have an OSD, then separate buttons must be built in for these functions.

   Set the color temperature. Monitor calibration images typically have blocks of color luminosity. Use them to find a color temperature that feels natural to you and allows you to see all the hues clearly.

   • 6500K is the standard for monitors, although some calibration images will ask you to bump it up to 9300K. Not all monitors will allow you to set the temperature value.

2. Set the brightness and contrast. Use the brightness and contrast controls to adjust them so that you can clearly see the dark areas in the calibration image. Generally, you should be able to see the later areas, but the first few areas should be indistinguishable. This will ensure that black and dark scenes in movies and games are clearly visible.

3. Adjust the screen position. Sometimes the screen does not fit exactly within the monitor and you may notice that your mouse extends beyond the small screen, or there may be black bars around the edges. You will be able to adjust this in the monitor menu.

   • You can move the screen horizontally and vertically, stretch and shrink it. Use these controls to properly fit your screen to your monitor.

Hello! Today there will be a small note about such a household problem, which, perhaps, is not often common, but it annoys decently. If we discard the phrase in brackets of the title of the article, then this topic cannot be fully disclosed in a number of extensive articles. In fact, I will talk about one small problem and directions where to dig if other problems arise.

When setting up the router, I ran into the following problem - the monitor image was shifted a couple of millimeters to the left. And the cursor also “floated” to the left, without stopping on the edge of the monitor. And it was both in programs and on the desktop. And on the right, a black stripe a width of the same couple of millimeters formed. But what is there to tell, see for yourself (lower right corner and the folder crawling over the edge):

It is impossible to show this on the screenshot, because the screenshot "photographs" the active area controlled by the system. And here it seems that the pixels have stopped working.

How did I solve the problem?

Everything turned out to be very simple. It was enough to change the frequency of the monitor (LCD monitor). Now I'll show you how it's done.
1) Go to the context menu of the desktop, Screen resolution (in Windows 7).

2) A menu with screen settings will appear. Click on "Advanced Options".


3) The characteristics of your video adapter (video card) will appear.

Go to the "Monitor" tab. The important drop-down menu here is “Screen Refresh Rate”. Set the maximum screen refresh rate. By default, I had 60 Hz, which was the cause of the problem.

After that, the image should move to its place.

General Method for Troubleshooting Monitor Problems

1) We look at the physical connection of the monitor to the motherboard connector. We try to pull out and insert the cable again.
2) We check with our hands the serviceability of the cable (if there are any kinks).
3) Check the power connection of the monitor.
4) If the image does not appear on the monitor, then the video card is most likely covered. You need to take another one and try to see if the monitor will work with it. If not, then the end of the monitor has come.
5) If you still saw the image, but it is distorted, then go again to the context menu of the desktop - Screen resolution. Here you need to set the standard resolution of your monitor, specified in the instructions.


If CRT monitors (similar to TVs) allow you to change the resolution without any problems, then their LCD counterparts should only have a standard one. Otherwise, the image will be blurry.
6) If the image looks like a ladder like this (best seen on the cart label):

then we go into additional parameters (as in point 2 of solving my problem), go to the “Monitor” tab and at the bottom there is a switch for color quality modes. So there you need to select 32 bits (True Color):

Then the image will become smooth and the gradients will be invisible:

7) If the text still looks fuzzy, crumpled, like printed by a printer that is running out of ink, then most likely you have Clear Type turned off. To turn it on, in the same screen setting at the bottom, click on “Make text and other elements larger or smaller”. A panel will appear:

On the left side of the menu, go to “Setting ClearType Text”. And in the window that appears, check the box “Enable ClearType”. At the same time, you can immediately see the changes on the monitor and understand what's what. Click the next button and choose the best text options for you. It's not difficult, so I won't give screenshots.

8) If the interface elements on the screen look small, then in the menu that we entered in step 7, select “Other font size (dpi)”. The scale selection window will appear:

In the middle window, go to the video adapters and click on the name of the video card. In the pop-up window, go to the "Driver" tab.

Click "Update":

It turns out you can manage windows in Windows 7 without using the mouse! Why is this needed? Well, for example, if for some reason your mouse is out of order, which sometimes happens, or you connected your computer to the TV in the “Expand Screen” mode, and the screen settings window that was called up did not come out where you expected . Sometimes there is another situation when something happened to the mouse or the buttons that control the movement and size are beyond the visible border of the screen and the mouse cannot reach them. There is a very simple way out, we will use the keyboard, I hope you have not thrown it away as an obsolete peripheral.

Consider the keyboard carefully, in the lower left part you can see the control keys alt And WIN(flag key). So, if the window is not open to full screen, and we have just such a case, otherwise all the window controls are visible and available for pressing, then simultaneously pressing the keys Alt+Space(the longest button at the bottom in the middle) you can get to the window control menu. It contains items: Restore, Move, Size, Collapse, Expand, close. In this case, we will be interested in the item - Move. We select it by pressing the "Down Arrow" and "Enter" keys, then by pressing the Left, Right, Up and Down arrow keys, you can move the window to the desired position on the screen and press "Enter" again. If you need to move the window very accurately up to a point (pixel) on the screen, then when moving the window, you need to hold down the Ctrl key (located to the left of the WIN key), then the movement will be done point by point (pixel by pixel), very smoothly, but slowly.

In what other cases can this operation be needed with a working mouse? Very often on Netbooks with a screen resolution of 600 pixels vertically, dialog boxes containing the desired button for confirming or canceling an action do not fit completely on the screen, which is very annoying even for experienced users, because. These buttons are simply invisible. And again we are saved by Alt + Space, Move and the arrow to the right height, and now these buttons are available. All of this works from Windows 95 to Windows 8 today (on the desktop, not on the subway).

In conclusion, a couple of "goodies" from Windows 7. You can move the window quickly to the left or right edge without a mouse using the WIN key while pressing the left and right arrows - respectively, press the window to the left or right edge of the screen, it looks especially interesting if you have several monitors, experiment. WIN+Up Arrow- expands the window to full screen. Combination WIN+Down Arrow Minimizes the window to an icon on the active taskbar or returns it to its original size if the window is full screen.

Here is such a simple lesson for today, I hope that it will help some save time and nerves. And if you want to fully learn all the Windows keyboard shortcuts, you
