Dell Optiplex 755 Desktop
Dell 2007FP LCD Monitor
Intel® Q35 Express Chipset Graphic Driver

I want 1980x1020 resolution for some work. I added this resolution on Detailed Resolutions + Standard Resolutions box and then run Restart64.

After this I tried to find this resolution in Windows screen resolution change area but this new resolution is not there.

How this new resolution will appear with other resolutions available to select?

The graphics driver does not support EDID overrides for your GPU, so CRU will have no effect.

I have a strange problem that I think your tool will resolve, just not sure which tool to use. I run Windows 10, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. I'm doing duel monitors one at resolution 3840x2160 and the other at 1920x1080. Those 2 are set correctly, yet the problem is for some reason Windows is reading my soundbar as a display. Display #1 is my soundbar, #2 is my 3840 and #3 is my 1920. I need somehow to get rid of the 3rd display #1 that is actually my soundbar. The soundbar works through Bluetooth, but not through HDMI because it's reading incorrectly. Also on this bogus display #1, the Active Signal Resolution is reading 4096x2160, yet the Desktop Resolution is reading 1920x1080, so it's causing not just a problem with the soundbar, but a problem with the second display #3. I'd disconnected #1, but what I really need is a way to delete this display setup altogether. That way I can get my soundbar to work with HDMI and would solve the resolution problem on my second display #3. Also, deleting this display would solve my problem with my Intel Optane Memory, which is caused by this soundbar display. You can see from my screenshot, this bogus display is connected to Intel UHD Graphics 360. Can you software do this? If so, which one should I use? I've added a screen shot of my display setup. I appreciate any and all advise you can give. Thanks for what you do.

CRU can't delete the display, and I'm not sure if there is a way to delete it without disabling the audio. What problem is it causing with the second display #3? Your screen shot is showing the display is not active, so it shouldn't be causing problems. Have you set one of the other two displays as the primary display? What happens if you disable the soundbar "monitor" in Device Manager? What about if you connect the soundbar to the NVIDIA card?

Well, there are several problems related to this issue. As far as the 2nd monitor, it's reading 1920x1080 on display, but in actual fact, it's active signal is the 4096, so the screen display is far too large and when the bogus display is active, there's no way to change the Active Signal Resolution. Yet, that's just one problem. Like I said, this is also causing a problem with my Optane Memory, the UHD is tied up on something it shouldn't and I can't load my UHD display. Also, since both the active monitors are using the NVidia, there's a problem with programs opening. I wind up having to keep both monitors running to see which screen the software will open on. Some of my software won't open at all. Will reinstalling Windows 10 solve this? The soundbar monitor is inactive and it doesn't help. Also, I checked Device Manager and the Soundbar is setup under sound on my Bluetooth Enumerator. I can't get it to work over HDMI. Yet, my system is reading 3 monitors.

Question... as I said in the Device Manager, 3 monitors are listed. If I can isolate that particular monitor (soundbar) can I simply detach that monitor in the Device Manager? Would that not solve the display problem at the same time? Now I don't want to uninstall my soundbar, just that 3rd monitor listed. Is that possible?

However, sometimes it ends only covering half of the screen, I have full panel checked in my GPU settings also. HDMI scaling fixes the issue, but cause lag. Don't understand why half the time it works and half the time it does not. Thanks.
CRU does not deal with scaling. It's up to the monitor to scale the resolutions unless you use GPU scaling. Sometimes using different timing parameters can affect the way the monitor scales. What resolution are you trying to scale? What is the native resolution of the monitor?

The native res of the monitor is 1920x1200. Been using it for 1444x1080 and 1154x1080. Have messed around with my monitor settings too, no luck.

Try using the same horizontal/vertical totals as 1920x1200 and see if the monitor scales the resolutions differently. You might have better luck with 1600x1200 if you need a 4:3 resolution.

That's what I wanted to know. What happens if you disable the "soundbar" monitor? I don't know if that will disable the sound or not.

Well, I guess the only way to know, is to find out.

This is working for now. I reset CRU and am using 1154x1200. Maybe the 1200 makes a difference. Also using the same timing as 1920x1200. Thanks for the help!

Detached the soundbar and the 2nd monitor. Deleted the monitor display in device manager. Deleted the 3 registry keys and then rebooted. Windows picked up my main screen and set it to the NVidia card. Now I'm in the process of connecting the 2nd monitor, which I plan to connect to the Intel Graphics 360. Soundbar, not sure if I'll connect to with HDMI, it's working fine via Bluetooth. At least the problems solved and software is loading great. Thanks again. Happy Holidays.
