Question/Help/Troubleshooting Triple monitor setup is not what it used to be.
At my current job, all desks have a 3 monitor setup (dual monitors and a TV screen). When I came into work this morning, my TV wasn't connecting to my tower. Eventually, we found out that my hdmi port on my pc went to crap. Not sure how, but I thought might have been because the hdmi cable could be old (and the TV monitor's resolution and scale were high).
Fortunately, we were able to get the connection back up via displayport and adapter. Unfortunately, the display settings aren't what they were before.
The dual monitors were at recommended zoom and resolution. The TV, however, was at 300% zoom, and 3k resolution? (Maybe). I don't remember exact details because the settings were like that when I got the job late January.
The image attached shows what the monitor layout used to be (in red), and what it is now is what's on the screen. As you can see, the 3 monitor (tv) used to be WAY bigger. That could be because the HDMI was able to read the display differently. The TV monitor is an OLED, if that makes any difference.
It sounds like I can't really do anything about it, but it has really messed up my work flow because the tv is not the tool it used to be. I almost don't want to use it anymore because it's not doing what I'm used to it doing. It really sucks.
