How can I make external monitor as primary to aspire 5738?

Skap631

I own 15" Aspire 5738 laptop. I have hooked up 27" external monitor to it. I am facing a problem with 27" monitor. The display on the external monitor doesn't cover whole screen. The reason being that Aspire's screen is primary monitor as default. I want to make 27" monitor as primary. How can I do that?

With external monitor connected and powered ON, right click on desktop, choose "screen resolution".

 

Here you will find the option to set as default the external monitor.

 

If you have ATI/AMD CCC installed, probably you can do the settings from it.

IronFly

Right click on Desktop -> Screen Resolution-> Select the 27" monitor and select “Make this my main display”.

 

check if resolution is the 27" monitor native.

 

This is the easiest way to set it, no need of ATI/AMD CCC.

 

PS: please ask questions here not in PM.

Please refer to your replies of 8/21/14 and 8/23/14.

Can you please elaborate ATT/AMD CCC.

Also what purpose they serve and how to know whether Aspire 5738 has got it or not?
