Setting up an extended desktop involves a few steps to ensure both screens are recognized and utilized properly. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot and set up your extended desktop correctly:

1. Connect Your TV: Ensure that your TV is properly connected to your laptop's graphics output port (usually HDMI or VGA). Make sure the cable is securely plugged in on both ends.
2. Check Graphics Settings: Open your computer's graphics settings. On Windows, you can usually do this by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Display settings" or "Graphics properties." Alternatively, you can access it through the Control Panel or the Settings app.
3. Detect Displays: In the display settings, there should be an option to detect displays or identify monitors. Click on this option to ensure that your computer recognizes the TV as a second display. It should appear as a separate display alongside your laptop screen.
4. Configure Display Settings: Once both displays are detected, you can configure the display settings according to your preferences. You'll typically have options to set the resolution, orientation, and arrangement of the displays.
5. Set Up Extended Desktop: Look for an option to extend the displays rather than duplicating them. This will allow you to use the TV as an extension of your laptop screen. Make sure the TV is positioned correctly relative to your laptop screen in the display arrangement settings.
6. Adjust Resolution: Ensure that the resolution settings for the extended desktop match the capabilities of your TV. You mentioned that your laptop screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768, but you'll need to check the supported resolutions for your TV and set it accordingly.
7. Apply Changes: After configuring the display settings, apply the changes and confirm that the extended desktop is active.
8. Test Your Program: Once the extended desktop is set up, test your program again. Make sure it's configured to run in full-screen mode and set to the appropriate resolution (2732 x 768) to span both screens.
9. Troubleshoot: If your program still doesn't extend onto the second screen, double-check the display settings, cable connections, and resolution settings. You may also want to update your graphics drivers to ensure compatibility with multiple displays.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up an extended desktop configuration and run your program across both screens successfully. If you encounter any specific errors or issues during the process, feel free to provide more details for further assistance.

Hello

 

 

Make sure to check these steps:

Detect the TV: Right-click the desktop, go to Display Settings, and check if the TV is detected. If not, click Detect.

Extend the display: Ensure Extend these displays is selected under Multiple Displays.

Set proper resolutions: Use the native resolutions for your laptop (1366 x 768) and the TV. The doubled resolution may cause issues.

Arrange displays: Drag the rectangles in Display Settings to match your setup.

Thank you!
