Windows 10: Active Signal Mode

Is there a way to get my Active Signal Mode to match my Desktop mode?

Active Signal Mode Bug

so i want to play 4k resolution 144 hz (3840 x 2160 Hz)

when I put 4k resolution with 60 hz the Active signal mode is normal (3840 x 2160)
but when i put 144hz it goes to Active signal mode 2560 x1440, 144hz

Please help.

The selected mode is 3640 x 2160, 144hz

 

Unable to change active signal mode

Hello, hoping someone can help because this has really been bothering me for a while! I have windows 11.

The issue is that I am not able to use my laptop with my projector.

I have bought 3 different connectors and I can use them with other projectors so they are not a problem. But when I press 'duplicate' or 'extend screen' nothing happens.

I think I may need to change the 'active signal mode' but I can't. I have gone to System - Display - Advanced Display - Display adapter properties for display 1 - list all modes - and then I change it to a different resolution. However, this changes the Desktop Mode, not the Active Signal Mode. So how do a change the active signal mode? Or what may be the reason why I can't use my laptop with my projector?

Really hoping someone can help me!!!

Many thanks,

Holly

 

Forcefully changing "active signal mode"

Hi Austin,

I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

On System->Display->Advanced Display -> Display adapter properties for Display 1 -> List All Modes you don't change the active signal mode, on you only list the modes that the display supports.

A way to change it is on the Graphics Adapter Control Panel. Depending on your hardware and where the display is connected you will find it in the Nvidia Control Panel, Intel Graphics Command Center or Adrenalin Software.

What do you want to achieve changing this setting?
